Studio Belcampo in Amsterdam, Hannie Dankbaarpassage 33
In this workshop, we will start from the ground – the first and best partner. We will learn to really ground oursleves an to connect in few different way to gravity and the floor.
From the ground we will gather strength and connect to a strong quality and core movement.
Pushing with the core, we will shift our attention to become light, soft, smooth and fly on our underdancer with ease.
We will learn how to invite and hear an invitation for a lift, and we will learn how to catch one, or to disconnect from the ground without your partner noticing it.
Soft, slow, and smooth movement patterns will help us to adapt and support our own structure and the mutual dance with our partner, so we can go further with them into faster and more challenging patterns with ease and without fear reactions.

In this module workshop, we will focus on our pelvis. 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. 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.

Spiral is one of the key aspects in Contact Improvisation and in movement in general, it can be found in any living being – from our double helix DNA to our patterns, movement’s formation and structural building.
