some of the things we will touch on and move through:
* How to soften and offer structure in a dance which allows for both communication and continuation.
· Becoming more aware of different qualities of touch
·
Some CI classical technique refreshers to warm up, clarify and create common language
· Finding new pathways for lifts and invitations within the dance without “forcing” our dance to happen.
· Stimulating talk on the revolutionary and evolutionary context of CI.
.· Developing new material/thinking for our solo practice, artistic dance creating.
My desire for this lab-like workshop is to jump into the deep end of the pool and start exploring possibilities. One of the definitions I have loved of CI is that of an art-sport. I want to take some time to shine a light on the sporty part of the dance, while finding new vocabulary for infusing our art in order to understand together further new possibilities of weight sharing, and use of skin, structure and instinct in our CI dancing. I would like to invite us to raise the volume on communication as well as let go of dancing concepts (what we think we know) in order to refresh and invigorate our dance practice, investigation, possibilities and experience.
In this workshop we will expand the range of how we think about and practice contact improvisation in terms of allowing discovery of fresh pathways inside the dance, while also upgrading our communication level. In order to expand the range of what is possible we will respectfully explore how to use the whole body as a unit; accessing surface areas such as the pelvis, sit bones, sternum, trochanter, skillful use of the hands, and our flesh/fascia as well in order to potentially enrich our dancing possibilities when appropriate and invited.
The workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced movers, dancers and CI practitioners and teachers who are already comfortable and skilled with the giving and taking of weight, understanding of rolling point of contact concept, have the ability to fall/soften into the floor in various ways, as well as the ability to have a solo movement practice regardless of CI dancing.
