CONTACT IMPROVISATION & PERFORMATIVE PRESENCE
Sat + Sun
September 28 + 29 at the Boulder Circus Center
6pm to 9:30
4747 26th St, Boulder, CO 80301
Contact Improvisation culture and exploration began as performative research amongst dancers
and creative movement artists.
50 years after its inception, CI is used as both social form, CI Jam practice, and dance research.
In this unique weekend workshop, we will dive to the heart of nuances both in approaching CI as a research practice, and in the joy of sharing our work with our peers via short performative sketches.
If you feel there are more possibilities you wish to reach within your Contact and Solo dance both physically and artistically - then join this workshop and expand your dancing horizons.
By the end of this weekend, you will all have more humor, skills, improvisational intelligence, and confidence in your dance.
I guarantee it:)
Some clear themes we will touch on in the workshop:
· Practicing and building strategies for being present and responsive
· messy experimentation vs clean patterns and finding the sweet spot.
· Developing scores and score-making as vehicles for creative research, dance-making, and
collective creativity
· Redefining the solo as a creative empowerment practice
· Building intelligence and sensitivity in the use of the hands for connection and articulation of the body as a whole
This training is designed for CI dancers with basic comfort level and experience of CI technique.
Some previous experience with giving and receiving of weight is recommended.
Feel free to reach out to with questions.
The Workshop will be geared to engage each participant’s abilities and growing edges.
