About the workshop HUMAN CONTACT:
Contact Improvisation is a 40 year old art practice exploring the physical possibilities of bodies moving through contact. A mixture of contemporary dance, circus acrobatics, soft martial arts, and physical meditation it is an open-ended world of exploration guided by collaborative curiosity.
The material for this workshop is taken from the Human Contact Project, an organic mix of technical work and more experiential and sensory explorations. We explore principles of alignment and physical listening as we move, fall, and fly together through the space. We look for ease and soft power as we collaborate on the body-mechanics of moving together. There is a blending of surrender of control of self with shaping and influencing the movement of the other. We also look at the experiential side of contact, a mix of pleasure, nurturing, thrill, and poetic art-making in movement.
We collaborate with each other in holding space for the exploration of the physical poetry of bodies moving together.
