FROM BODY to SPACE
CI workshop with Katarzyna Brzezinska & Karthik Raymohan
In this "FROM BODY to SPACE" CI workshop we aim to develop skills for the in-contact and solo body through presence, grounding, release and spatial mobility. We will experiment with passive and active states of dynamic movement dialogues that open wide range of possibilities and encourage deep listening. Furthermore, we will practice various movement pathways that travel within the body, as well as from the body to space, and use tools from contact improvisation to explore gravity and generate momentum through spiraling, sliding and falling. We will allow dances to emerge from strong support, gentle movement mobilisation and clear invitation. How can two bodies move as one? What is the quality of each unique encounter and how can that be developed, sustained and transformed?
This workshop will provide a good ground for deepening principles of CI and it’s dynamics through soft, somatic & embodied approach. Suitable for all levels of experience, can be also a good foundation to the practice of Contact Improvisation.
