Somatic Communication: Relational Intelligence in Contact Improvisation - WildHeart - Walkill, United States

Ideal for movers who are interested in exploring physical communication within tactile relations on spatial and flesh-based levels, this workshop will also dive into ensemble movement as a form of communicative engagement. Working from a baseline of care, we will explore the almost magical potentials of moving together within time practices that coordinate our unspoken agreements. These alignments can happen faster than conscious decision making. We will learn to hold ourselves “lightly”, move readily, fly and support one another by becoming more than a singular being. Always more than one, we will play within highly creative physical forms that require our fullest being of presence.

Participants can expect to explore and “lab” the dynamic interplay of weight, momentum, and spatial relationships as they move in contact with one another, and to gain an experiential vocabulary that informs many states of your embodied relations.
