A Two-Day immersion in Contact Improvisation & Body-Mind Centering®Hosted by Oslo Kontaktimpro in collaboration with BodyCartography Project
Through embodied exploration we will discover partnering that is effortless, intentional, and alive.
Day One: Inner Architectures
We will begin by awakening anatomical and physiological precision, embodying our structural support of skeleton and fascia, and dropping into the dimensionality and metabolic power of our organs. Through guided movement, touch, and attention, we will identify, articulate, and integrate the body’s tissues, discovering the distinct movement qualities they offer.
Day Two: Developmental and Evolutionary Beings
We’ll journey from micro to macro, from cellular breathing to group flying. We will discover the relationship between the smallest inner activity and possibilities for expansive movement through space together, aligning inner intelligence with outer expression.
Contact Improvisation will be our playground, a dance form rooted in physical laws of motion; mass, gravity, momentum, inertia. Body-Mind Centering® will offer an approach for embodied research where movement, perception, and consciousness meet. Together we will develop our sensory awareness, partnering skills, and improvisational expression.
