Form follows function – Flow follows Structure

Contact Improvisation workshop

What is movement, and how do we sense it in the body?
How can we create movement in harmony with the forces of nature? What supports the flow of movement with a partner?

In this workshop, we will explore the balance between structure and free-flowing movement, understanding how form and flow in Contact Improvisation support one another. Through the dance, we will discover how a strong foundation creates the space for fluid, spontaneous connection.

We will dive into the foundational principles of Contact Improvisation that help us maintain continuous connection—with ourselves, with movement, and with our partner in the dance.

We’ll investigate how to share weight while releasing unnecessary effort and discover tools to enrich the dance through the dynamic interplay of strong structure and free movement. This essential balance—found all around us in nature—can deepen our experience, increase our sense of joy, and support a grounded, flowing, and alive shared dance.

We will also take time to deepen our understanding of the two primary roles in Contact Improvisation-the base and the flyer. By exploring both the differences and the common ground between them, we’ll see how each role contributes to stability, listening, connection, and flow in the dance.

This workshop is open to all. Together, we will create a supportive and welcoming space where everyone can feel safe to explore, connect, and dance.
