Introduction to Contact Improvisation
Saturday, June 15,
1-3pm
CI is practiced all over the world, like a form of folk dance. No prior experience needed.
Contact Improvisation (CI) is an improvisational dance form open to all.
In this Introductory workshop, we will explore the physics of movement and the forces of gravity. We will practice the mechanics of weight sharing and tune our senses to the playfulness of improvisation. Often a duet form, we will work in partners, as well as solo, and in groups, practicing the give and take of weight, learning to notice rather than judge, allowing the body to respond in the moment as the roles of leader and follower are shared, exchanged, and often dissolve.
​

Somatics and Movement Improvisation
Mondays 5-6pm
A thoughtful, accessible ‘dance is exercise’ class for people who want to move!
We'll begin each class with movement exercises that prepare us for dancing and tap into our own body's intelligence so we can make deeper connections to what we're doing in the moment. It's preparing the ground for each to experience fuller, freer movement in the second half of class where we'll explore some of the basic principles of movement improvisation and engage in spontaneous dance making.
Open to all levels.
