Jeevak More is a performing endurance artist who’s currently based in Goa. His work is innovational and based on extreme research. Started as a professional performing artist 13 years back, he’s been constantly experimenting in his style from various spaces like cafe, restaurant, studio, streets, black boxes and open air spaces for different audiences. His curious mind never stops searching for learning and experimenting in ever changing possibilities. And this led his interest expanded from theater to movement, especially to Contact Improvisation(CI).
As a passionate researcher, he was naturally intrigued by the difference between theatre performing arts and CI dancer trainings and started developing unique ways to introduce these two type of art forms to basic learners and professionals. Fortunately he was given many opportunities to work together with national & international dancers and actors, and this led him to deepen the understanding of different approaches to movements. For years, he has been hosting various classes and holding jam spaces.
His research is mainly focused on establishing a link between Performing Art and CI by using different daily objects around us like cloth, bags, furnitures and natures.
Two main theme of his teachings are:
1. sharpening one’s awareness relation to ever-changing environments including dance partners and inner states of themselves.
2.how contact improvisation as an art form can be presented to both the improviser and the observer.
His classes are are known to be well break down and easy to digest and given much safe space for the participants to understand unique body languages of their own.
