CONNECTED BODY
Contact Improvisation is a form of dance that opens the doors to us to play infinitely, proposing a single guideline: to share a meeting space in the movement through a point of contact. However, sometimes we feel stuck, bored, without tools or playing in the same ways. This can happen when we fail to connect with ourselves or with the partner, space, group.
The proposal of this workshop is to create a state of availability and honesty in the body, to open the way for new movements, routes and spaces. We will try to understand what it means to be available in dance, looking for a relaxed body sensation, without tensions, but not abandoned. We will talk with our bone structure to be able to find the sensation of muscle relaxation and (re) know the basic concepts of biomechanics. We will explore the sensation of water and the weight of our body, allowing water to choose the path on which to travel. We will travel to the world of spirals, falls, rolling and inertia, using the ground and its help to find ourselves in the vertical position. We will meet guidelines and exercises that make it easier to be in continuous, fluid and pleasant movement. We will dance with a body connected to its center, to the companions, space and universe 🙂
