Anne Cooper is facilitating a Contact Improvisation workshop, for people new to Contact Improvisation (CI), but more experienced dancers are also welcome to review the basics.
"We will look at the basic underlying movement principles of Contact Improvisation giving us a shared physical understanding from which to play, develop and experience our dances together.
Contact Improvisation (CI) is a duet improvised movement form (that can be expanded to trios and groups) that plays from an underlying structure of movement principles and physical training which sensitizes us to the sensations of our bodies involved in gravity, momentum, rest, stillness, energy, mood, buoyancy, reflexivity etc, through our own body in touch with another. Practice includes rolling, falling safely into and out of the floor, 'the Stand', accessing momentum, counter and interbalance, sharing degrees of weight, sharing weight while moving, listening and improvising."
