=========================
CONTACT EXPLORATORIUM
Open to all levels of experience
Thu 11/12
7pm to 9pm
=========================
This one-of-a-kind class gives you the opportunity to practice and test out the principles of Contact Improvisation (its inherent movements, techniques, and awarenesses) with very special, very helpful "teachers":
-- Physioballs
-- Foam rollers
-- A balance staff
-- Elastic bands
-- Crutches
-- Sandbags
-- Yoga swings
-- A hammock
-- And even an overstuffed couch!
We will then dance with each other to explore how what we learn from the objects transfers into our movement with human bodies.
This class is usually offered only as a series, so be sure to be there for this special "one off" edition if you want to play and learn with an awesome group of people.
Contact Improvisation is an embodied exploration that can be done solo or with others. It explores movement, stillness, going in and out of touch, and shared weight shifting/exchange from barely perceptible to full body. You can choose your engagement level at any time or totally refuse a particular prop or activity. You are always at choice! Follow your curiosity and pleasure while listening to and respecting the body-based cues (or verbal requests) of others. Please take 100% responsibility for your experience and your own health and safety.
IMPORTANT: Wear comfortable, stretchable clothing you can move in. Bring both a long sleeve and a short sleeve shirt if possible, and a water bottle if you like. Please no jeans, buttons, belt buckles, watches, jewelry, or anything pointy or sharp that can snag or poke.
This is a consent-based space. Every BODY is unique. All are welcome, especially People of Color, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Same-Gender Loving People, seniors, and neurodiverse. Whatever your shape, size, age, or ability you are welcome and wanted here!
Guide and facilitator Daniel Mollner.
