ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This workshop uses the frame of ‘Partner-work’ to open contexts for Movement Practice which the lone individual simply cannot. Whilst allowing us to explore deeper & with new perspectives on a range of familiar movement aspects, we will evoke & attempt to answer a general question which goes beyond physical-practice: What does it mean to be a “good” partner, and how can we better develop in these respects?
Departing from this partner & group/”social-layer” of Movement Practice, we will approach a range of subjects & concepts such as: sensitivity & structural-awareness, “comfort in contact”, ‘roughhousing’ (the play/fight spectrum), “helping & heckling”, leading & following, parter-strength (“producing” & “with-standing” force), moving & “being” moved, coordination & cognitive-loading & more.
The main proposals are TWO-fold: firstly, whilst an effective partner can help us learn, grow, and achieve MORE than we can on our own, this depends, on a fine balance between understanding/empathy and encouragement/elevation. Secondly, in a partner/group connection we become not simply a collection of individuals, but rather a THIRD entity, an “assemblage” which has much GREATER potential than the sum of its parts.
The workshop is open to ALL.
