BODY AS A PART OF EARTH'S ECOSISTEM - CorPoetica - Milano, Italy

Body is human's closest relationship with nature. By strengthening the opportunities for our own physical experience,  we strenghten also the connection with the Planet Earth. My aim with these classes is whether the burning crisis of the era really responds to how we might think of being new as part of the Earth’s ecosystem. Could we share physical space, close to each other, without competing?


Contact improvisation is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their movement; gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to feel these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. This class will include rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner. We will aim towards movable support and gentle flying technique.
