This workshop consists of four sessions designed to deepen movement techniques and improvisation. Over these sessions, we will explore contemporary dance as a foundation for Contact Improvisation. The themes we work on individually in the contemporary dance sessions—such as 'low flying' technique, weight and gravity management, and the integration of spirals in movement—will then be applied more practically in the Contact Improvisation sessions. This approach allows us to transition from individual exploration to a collective organism, where the focus shifts to shared movement, mutual support, and connection within a group dynamic.
Who can participate?
This workshop is open to everyone interested in movement, from experienced dancers to those looking to explore new forms of physical expression. No prior experience is required, just an open mind and a willingness to learn and share in a collaborative environment.
What to bring:
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement, preferably with long sleeves to protect your skin during floor work and knee pads if needed. Bring water to stay hydrated and feel free to bring light snacks to share during the break. we also bring some snaks and tea
