Skills for Flying Contact - Contact Improv Workshop with Sebastian Grubb
Advertisement
Skills for Flying Contact. A Contact Improvisation weekend with practices from Agile Beast and Axis Syllabus @ Oslo, Norway.
FOR WHOM?
To participate this weekend you need to have previous experience of contact improvisation and feel comfortable in the form. We suggest at least a beginner-course and a handful of jams.
ABOUT the WORKSHOP
This workshop will focus on skills for dynamic Contact Improvisation, laying the groundwork for moments of blissful flying and safe falling within the dance. In particular, perspectives and exercises from primal movement training that organize the human animal body, as well as functional anatomy that details skeletal structures and both how to use and protect them, will be applied to exploratory, shared movement.
The morning session “Play/Ground” lays the foundation for life-long strength and mobility training that supports wellbeing and prepares the body for more dynamic movement. The afternoon session “Flying Contact” brings to life the principles for intelligent lifting and spontaneous flying. We will develop scores for bridging from solo to group dances, as well as investigate choreographed movement sequences to practice CI techniques.
