Yearly workshops & guest Teachers
Contact-Improvisation is a dance-form based on movement dialogues through physical connecting. These dialogues may include the spontaneous joy of moving together; the mutual and attentive flow; the safe touch as well as some risk taking; clarity of technique together with tolerance for disorientation and letting-go of control, letting go of ego and of ambition; the encounter with playful humor as well as deep rooted fears, curiosities, and moments of a meaningful relating with each other.
In the give-and-take of the dancing, in the intensity of the performance, am I generous to myself, to partners, to the space?
What may support my ability to share myself, as well as my ability to generously give, receive and recharge? How can I turn my dancing and performing into a generous field?
We shall play, enjoy many mistakes and experience dancing Contact-Improvisation as a very physical dance-form as well as a relational exploration of human contact. We shall explore this dance both as a fun form of bodywork, as a dance technique, and as a context for improvisational performative sharing.
