Contact Improvisation workshop taught by Sole and Mark

A day of somatic explorations, technical skills and improvisational work
Breath as a gateway and bridge between sensing and moving from our inner landscape, the wider space and others. Our breath can offer us easy access to modulate our tone and arrive in a sensory and dancing body. It shapes, shifts and influences all parts of our bodies, and it adds timing, rhythms and focus in relation to others. As we expand or condense our volume, we find new possibilities for weight-sharing, momentum and contact.

We’ll move between gentle somatic explorations, more specific experiential anatomy of our lungs based on Body-Mind CenteringⓇ, and choreographic and technical CI aspects. Exploring how we can connect our breaths to that of others, and use the volume of our bodies to under- and overdance.

You can expect a mixture of solo explorations, technical skills exercises and open group scores that emphasise the improvisational nature of CI. Open to all levels.
