Friday - The Art of Being Ready: Surprise, Communication, Co-Creation, and Emergence (Advanced)
This workshop will be an immersion in practices that support physical readiness to engage in the unknown – because we are always more than one. We will study the physical and relational states that produce creativity and controlled abandon.
Saturday/Sunday - Relational Intelligence in CI: Embodied CoCreative Practices (Intermediate)
This workshop is a deep dive into those relational practices inherent in dancing contact improvisation that build a foundation for co-creativity, individual and collective trust, and ultimately, emergent phenomenon. Creative, thoughtful, heart based, skill based, we will stretch the reach of our dance until it lives within our every moment.
Who is this for?
In order to allow the workshop to cover advanced material, a degree of knowledge of the basics is required.
The Friday workshop is an advanced workshop, which means having attended some intermediate CI classes, as well as being very comfortable in all levels of a normal CI dance, an ability to connect and feel your partner, and a good understanding of giving and receiving weight in motion.
The workshop on Saturday and Sunday is an intermediate workshop, which means having attended some beginner CI classes, as well as having decent comfort in all levels of a normal CI dance and attended a jam regularly for at least 3 months.
Space is limited to 40 people. Register now to reserve your spot!
