How to be empty?
How to be a body of action?
How to become another?
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 is an exploration of consciousness—our ability to be aware and know what’s happening—and the body, our means of acting and moving together in/as the world. This journey unfolds within the framework of Contact Improvisation.
• Emptiness: The fertile space within where clarity arises. Without it, action is blind and directionless.
• Clarity: The ability to perceive the present clearly and anticipate the near future.
• Action: The gift of the body, enabling us to engage, express, and co-create the unfolding future. Without action, emptiness becomes passive and disconnected.
This workshop synthesizes the yin-yang dynamic—balancing receptive stillness and active engagement. Inspired by Steve Paxton’s “third entity,” we will explore the moment in dance where boundaries blur, and a shared, co-creative state emerges.
“It is the state of agreement between the two of you that neither one is leading… the two of you are leading.” — Steve Paxton
