Dancing The Endless Web: Fascia and Contact Improvisation
an Intermediate/ Advanced Workshop with Daniel Bear Davis
Fascia: the three dimensional web of connective tissue that runs continuously from a thick layer just under your skin into the mysterious depths of your body. Fascia weaves a network of interwoven membrane around every muscle, organ, bone and cell.
Accessing this incredibly intelligent system in our dance opens a world of specificity, subtlety, and increased kinetic potential. We will traverse the range, from witnessing and following the delicate unwinding of the tissues, to finding incredible support for dynamic flight, elastic buoyancy and the creation of countless hidden shelves. Join me in researching this endlessly fascinating realm.
(Other current research interests we may dip into include the use of the bony architecture and the harnessing of chaotic states for unexpected partnering possibilities).
Daniel Bear Davis is a recent transplant to Europe from California's SF Bay Area. He has been teaching and dancing CI for 10 years. He utilizes the form in his dance theatre company, Shah and Blah Productions (www.youtube.com/user/shahandblahproductions) as well as in his work with the acrobatic stilt theatre company, The Carpetbag Brigade (www.carpetbagbrigade.com). His constant research into the form has been influenced by his study of of Axis Syllabus: Universal Motor Principles and by his massage practice. He has also been influnced by the countless bizarre apparatuses and architectures he has performed on including construction scaffolding, boulders in the desert, the walls of a boat, a submarine, a suspended welded sphere, and many more. .
