In this workshop, we will aim to connect to our center of gravity, center of mass, and the beautiful butterfly-shaped bones that comprise our pelvis.

We will learn to move through and with the pelvis, gaining a deeper and embodied understanding of it. Once this level is reached, we will play with lifting and being lifted from the pelvis and center, all the way to shoulder level—seeing the shoulder girdle as a structure of lightness and support.

Connecting our center of gravity with the center of levitation (the area around the chest bone) can create a strong sensory feeling of lightness and strength. Combining both centers with another person creates a feeling of one body.

In this workshop, we will delve deeply into the sensation of grounding into our bones and from there, start the journey upward.

By the end of the workshop, we will explore how to safely fly on a partner and how to feel secure and grounded while riding this flow as one body.

This workshop is intended for all levels of practitioners of Contact Improvisation, from beginners to very experienced practitioners. (If you have never done contact before, it is advisable to take a few classes before joining the workshop.)
