Contact Improvisation Skills Series
Contact Improvisation is a dance form in which we move while touching without knowing what’s coming next. We make it up together by moving and listening with our bodies. Just as with language, it helps a lot to know what the possibilities are–to develop a vocabulary with which we may converse. In this series we will:
- Practice patterns of total body connectivity: We’ll drill fundamental patterns of movement.
- Practice weight sharing: We’ll connect to support through each other.
- Practice non-ordinary states of gravity: We’ll get upside down, inside out, and maybe backwards.
- Practice spatial clarity: We’ll get oriented.
- Practice sensory awareness: We’ll listen with our bodies.
- Practice contact improvisation: We’ll dance together and reflect on it.
The series will consist of 6 classes. Let’s be real…about 25% of people ever make it to all six classes of series unless enrolled as a full time student, and then it’s 50%. If you can make 4 that’s pretty good. It’s a practice. While we’ll learn different things each time everything repeats.
The price for the series is $120. If you’re a member of the BraveSpace Adv. group you may use the coupon code BRAVECONTACT for $30 off.
We will meet 7-9pm from Thursday Feb 2nd to March 9th at SomaWorks Studio.
There are 14 spots available.
