Event Details
A day of movement and body awareness in effortless interaction with others, inviting a non-judgemental mindset and the courage to know less and to be more curious…
Contact Improvisation uses movement, touch and the weight of our bodies to find clarity, inspiration and flow when being and moving with others.
We’ll explore how to give weight and how to physically support others in a consensual ways, where a doubtful mindset of “I am too much or not enough?’ can dissolve.
Contact Improvisation doesn’t rely on fixed steps or shapes. It cultivates to be present in the moment and the curiosity about what could happen next.
I see Conact Improvistion as a dance form and a somatic practice, where listening to the body and it’s motivations & limitations is an integral part of the inquiry.
No previous experiences needed to join this workshop, just enough openness to try things out and a body that is happy to move between the floor and standing.
