This 3 day workshop will draw from:

the ANATOMICAL intelligence of the Axis Syllabus
the RELATIONAL intelligence of Contact Improvisation
the PHYSICAL and RHYTHMIC intelligence of Capoeira

We will practice functional strategies for locomotion, moving in and out of the floor, and build comfort moving off  of the external vertical (finding support from hands/head/other).  

As we inhabit the spirals present in our bodies and around us, we will find greater ease in dancing with them through space.

Inspired by the musicality and rhythmic quality of Capoeira, we will work with the ritual of creating a cypher, playing music and working in pairs to test and strengthen one another’s skills of creative adaptation.

To dance is to move with all of the limits and possibilities of what and where we are. To improvise is to be available to adapt and transform each moment as we meet it.

We will explore:

* Both solo movement and Contact Improvisation

* Practices, games and scores 

* Anatomical research

* The engine of our own curiosity

Suitability: The workshop is for dancers with a good handle of CI fundamentals. Not suitable for beginners. If in doubt, reach out to us at info@rhizomesprings.com
