We will deal with one of the side effect of many intermediate and even advanced practi tioners – staying confined within our mutual kineshpheric bubble.\n\nCon tact is the physical technique\, Improvisation is the life behind this dan ce. Much of our emphasis in the jams\, classes and workshops goes to impro ve our physical technique yet not much work explores the dance that can gr ow from our bubble and beyond it.\n\nOne glass ceiling that an advanced Co ntact Improviser may encounter is seeing the dance as only 2 people in a v ery confined space – the bubble. The side effect of this is that the wor ld disappears and there is only the sensation and movement that is inside our mutual bubble\, this nice and comfortable feeling holds us back from g oing into the next step – keeping the same feeling of our point of conta ct\, using our strong technique\, whilst improvising with everything else that is there in the moment.\n\nIn this workshop we will try to break our bubble – not to lose that feeling but rather to grow from it into a wide r bigger world. To Improvise not only with our physical partner and input but also with space\, composition\, and other potential partners that are not yet in physical contact.\n\nThis workshop is meant for Intermediate an d advanced people who have experience in one of these fields - Contact Imp rovisation\, Dance Improvisation and dance performers who wish to enlarge their vocabulary in dance and on stage.\n\nThe number of participants is l imited. If you wish to participate you need to register in advance by send ing an E-mail to this address - saskia@contactdance.co.uk\n\n \;\n\nTo m Goldhand - I am a performance artist in the field of Dance &\; Contac t Improvisation. I studied Dance and theater Improvisation in Israel at “Hakvuza beyafo” and “play school for Improvisation”. After finish ing my studies I moved to Amsterdam where I had the privilege to work\, le arn and be inspired by great teachers of dance and contact Improvisation - Paulien de Groot\, David Zambrano and Karl Frost amongst others. In the last years I perform and give workshops on the technique of Improvisation in Dance and Contact. 2 years ago I chose Amsterdam as my base and co foun ded with 5 other performance artists the group - Mono Collective that perf orms free and anchored Improvisation pieces as well as choreographed piece s. For me\, Improvisation is a way of life and I try to take it out of th e studio into everyday life. I believe that the core of man spirit comes f rom new experiences\, and that it is much more important to be open and pr esent\, than to make plans and try to stick to them. For more information \, go to www.tomgoldhand.com.\n“You cannot teach an old dog new tricks\, but you don’t have to be an old dog”  \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://contactdance.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20 12/03/Tom.jpg CATEGORIES:CI Workshop LOCATION:Wild Goose Space\, 228 Mina Road\, Bristol\, BS2 9YP\, United King dom GEO:51.4740089;-2.5772335999999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=228 Mina Road\, Bristol\, B S2 9YP\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Wild Goose Space:geo:51 .4740089,-2.5772335999999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20120325T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
