What are some of the ways that we can more fully inhabit the shared experience of dancing CI?
How can you bring more of who you are into your dancing?
In this workshop we’ll employ the vocabulary of Contact Improvisation to explore ways towards deepening and expanding our relationship with ourselves and with others as we dance.
Alongside the physical practice of dancing CI, the workshop will offer ways to bring less visible aspects of yourself into your dancing which can offer a richness of depth, nuance, range and integration both internally and externally.
The workshop will address aspects that are personal to you and how these personal aspects interface with the vocabulary and form of CI.
We’ll practice and explore the dialogue and play between the micro and the macro, the personal and the shared and the exchange that happens between them on a moment to moment basis.
The workshop will offer you practices to remain present on many levels in your dancing of CI to help you resource aspects of yourself that you may not normally access while you dance.
This includes exploring and integrating your vision, hearing, sensation and movement, and applying this practice to your dancing of CI.
From here you can access specificity, focus, range/expansion and a deeper relationship to the environment, which can bring support to your body and emotional sentience and colour to your dancing.

Comment pouvons-nous vivre pleinement l'expérience partagée de la danse en contact improvisation?
Comment intégrer davantage votre personnalité dans votre danse ?
Dans cet atelier, nous utiliserons le vocabulaire du contact improvisation pour explorer des moyens d'approfondir et d'élargir notre relation à nous-mêmes et aux autres en dansant.
En parallèle de la pratique physique de la danse en contact improvisé, l'atelier vous proposera des pistes pour intégrer des aspects moins visibles de vous-même dans votre danse, offrant ainsi une richesse de profondeur, de nuances, de portée et d'intégration, tant intérieurement qu'extérieurement.
L'atelier abordera vos aspects personnels et leur interaction avec le vocabulaire et la forme de la danse de contact improvisation.
Nous pratiquerons et explorerons le dialogue et le jeu entre le micro et le macro, le personnel et le partagé, ainsi que l'échange qui s'opère entre eux à chaque instant.
L'atelier vous proposera des pratiques pour rester présent à plusieurs niveaux dans votre danse en contact improvisé, afin de vous aider à accéder à des aspects de vous-même auxquels vous n'auriez pas accès normalement en dansant.
Cela inclut l'exploration et l'intégration de votre vision, de votre ouïe, de vos sensations et de vos mouvements, et l'application de cette pratique à votre danse de CI.
De là, vous pouvez accéder à la spécificité, à la concentration, à l'étendue/expansion et à une relation plus profonde avec l'environnement, ce qui peut apporter soutien à votre corps, sensibilité émotionnelle et couleur à votre danse.
