Dienstag, 15. Sept bis Samstag, 19. Sept 2009, 11- 18 Uhr (dienstag 12-19 Uhr) Tuesday - Saturday, September, 15 - 19, 2009, 11 am - 6pm (Tuesday 12am - 7pm) Soaring Off The Mountain Intensive five-day workshop in Contact Improvisation Level: This is a training for those with an ongoing investigation into the contact improvisation dance form. Contact improvisation requires a courageous willingness -- but never so much as when we dance in the absence of will - those moments when we drop the reigns and, nowhere bound, allow our animal to carry us. Join good company for dancing and discovery. With games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention. We will explore: ♣ Moving from a base of sensation ♣ Dancing with a shared central axis ♣ Seeking ease in going off balance ♣ Finding the spontaneous acrobatics of the form ♣ Spending more time in nuance, disorientation, and extended follow-through ♣ Movement that's both organized and released ♣ A visceral appreciation for the spiral ♣ An ability to see and venture into the backspace ♣ Performing contact improvisation as a tool to amplify our listening ♣ A greater capacity for sensation, risk, and pleasure So one focus and target of the workshop will be your solo - alone and while in duet.
