Description
Contact improvisation / flying maneuvers / fluid acrobatics
This workshop explores the aerial aspects of contact improvisation—flying, catching, landing, and fluid acrobatics—within a supportive and playful environment.
We’ll begin with practices where sensation and proprioception guide our learning, leading to more refined and embodied skills. The focus will be on the physics and somatics that support both freedom of flight and personal expression.
Pleasure ↔ Technique
Somatics ↔ Acrobatics
We’ll explore:
Deft aerial maneuvers and techniques to increase contact
Somatic insights—like the idea that jumping is muscular, while flying is in the bones, influenced by emotion and attitude
Group trust-building, safety, and co-regulation
Favorite contact exercises and emergent curiosities from decades of movement investigation
All levels are welcome—everyone will work at their own pace and capacity. Experience with Contact Improvisation is recommended.
