Contact Improvisation developed out of questioning, questioning the mandatory space between bodies, questioning what is supposed to happen in every moment of movement. Beginning with the solo body we will explore specificity to increase the potential for the duet sourcing Material for the Spine, Re:Wire,
and developmental movement. Concepts such as momentum, duration, repetition, speed, and loft will be investigated from the solo perspective. Shifting our perspective to the duet, we will look at the duet through a variety of conceptual trios, such as core/floor/contact, roll/pivot/slide/, push/pull/pause, etc.
By consciously and rigorously examining the triads, we achieve an un/conscious clarity within the chaos of the dance.

The workshop will shift into more open investigations by drawing on questions and ideas from Daniel Lepkoff’s essay, Contact Improvisation: A Question, such as:

What do you need to know?
Which of these surfaces offers support?
Where am I able to go?

To prepare for and survive the surprises of Contact Improvisation meet the moment with senses open and perceptions stretching and compose your own response.
This spontaneous physical material can be viewed as danced composition the reflexes take over, and the rest is history.
