This workshop is for people with ongoing experience in contact improvisation.
As we ground ourselves in the core principles of CI, focusing on the dynamics and subtleties of touch, tone, texture, weight, momentum, and moving support, we will expand our awareness to include space, time, image, gesture and feeling, through solo, duet, trio and ensemble dancing.
We will consider how a lightly held compositional awareness and feeling can support our efforts to connect and find meaning when we are dancing.
The workshop will involve specific improvisation investigations, perceptual tunings, principles of design and scores aimed at integrating CI within a greater creative universe.
We seek a quality of attention that shifts from self to other, to the environment and the ever-changing atmospheres in the room and the world at large, and back, to engage with innovative possibilities for individual and collective improvisation.
We view this work not only as a means for creative expression but as a means for developing our capacity to collaborate and build a community that holds space for each individual.
