Contact improvisation is a dance in contact. Get more physical possibilities, open the senses and play with the principles of physical communication.
TECHNIQUE
The possibilities of our body give us a framework. What principles does this framework give us? Can we expand the framework?
ATTENTION
Contact improvisation thrives on mindfulness with oneself and with others. How does that work? How do you dance mindfully with each other?
COMMUNICATION
Experimenting with the principles of non-violent communication. Perceiving and formulating needs in dance without judgement. How can I set clear boundaries and give freedom? What empathy can I give to others?
There are no previous experiences or special physical requirements. A dose of curiosity is helpful.
