The Theory of Zero
Zero: a beginning, a pause, a place holder, the link between positive and negative, a place of rest, half of infinity, emptiness, a space of potential, a point of departure, non-doing
Following the Deleuzian idea that theory occupies a liminal zone between practices, this workshop explores zero as the common denominator threading through the fundamental triadic practices of Contact Improvisation. In articulating how zero links these practices, the workshop seeks to elucidate CI's processual nature, absent of teleology. We will draw on Martin's Re:Wire, Paxton's Material for the Spine, and related somatic techniques to cultivate a nuanced and subtle range of motion within our s/kinesphere. Moving into the duet and beyond, we will re-search how the triadic principles function, individually and in concert, toward the potential for great complexity born of layered simplicity.
