Location: DansiT, Strandveien 33, Trondheim
Are you new to contact improvisation and want to learn the basics? Are you experienced but want to refine your technique and revisit some principles? Then this workshop dedicated to Contact Impro Fundamentals is for you!
Contact improvisation (CI) is a dance technique in which points of physical contact provide the starting point for exploration through movement improvisation. The workshop offers an introduction to contact improvisation, technical skills for safe practice and a playful approach to the following themes: rolling point of contact, giving/receiving/sharing weight, leading and following, lifting and rolling.
We start with a warm-up focusing on bodywork and body awareness that gives an introduction to touch and listening through body surfaces. Movement tasks in contact improvisation technique serve as tools for the exploration of the bodily communication between you and your partner(s). We finish with an open jam where you can play with the learned material and discover your own dance.
Contact improvisation is for all movement enthusiasts. Dance experience is not required.
