SUMMARY:Bristol CI: The Underscore - DMAC\, (4th Floor) Hamilton House - 18
  Jun 17 17:00
DESCRIPTION:Curious about the Underscore?\nEnjoying practicing Underscore?\
 nCome to this long facilitated Underscore practice on Sunday! From 5pm-8:3
 0pm.\n\n\n\nIn my own words and experience: The Underscore is a framework 
 for improvisational dance (including Contact Improvisation)\, developed by
  Nancy Stark Smith\, based in her research and observation of the states o
 f sensation and awareness that naturally occur while improvising.\n\nEssen
 tially it is a long focused Jam\, where you are invited and challenged to 
 follow the prescribed and described stages of personal warm up\, group war
 m up\, coming in and out of contact and finally stages of dancing the open
  score. When practiced well it can be a great way to experience integrated
 \, all inlcusive and rich jam environment.\n\nIt describes phases in the d
 ance where there is confusion\, loss of focus\, responsive tone\, flowing 
 focus and gives permission to embrace these phenomena and keep on dancing.
 \n\nIf you’d like to read about the Underscore\, please check this info 
 http://nancystarksmith.com/underscore/\nThere is a video footage of Nancy 
 explaining Underscore (with me simultaneously translating it into Polish!)
  that is really helpful of understanding of it and how it can be done!\nht
 tps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOGLMZdm2uA\n\nWhat do you need to know befo
 re coming?\n\nIf you are unfamiliar with the Underscore please turn up at 
 5pm and get an indepth explanation of the phases of the score. I will offe
 r a detailed talk-through of the practice\, where we will not dance for ha
 lf an hour. If sitting down and being talked at is not what you like\, and
  you know you could do with a refresher I encourage you to ask yourself ho
 nestly – how will I benefit from hearing about the underscore and add to
  over all experience of the whole group? I will not offer much explanation
  as we dance the score\, so other than signs on the wall and occasional pr
 ompts from me you will be expected to know what you are doing 😊\n\nIf y
 ou are familiar with the practice please you are welcome to come at 5:30 p
 m and join in with consciousness of the underscore already happening in th
 e space. We will begin together as an Assembly. Secondly\, in case you did
 n’t know here is News Flash for you: As of December 2016\, Nancy has ren
 amed the phase formerly called “Pow-Wow\,” which is a focused gatherin
 g of the Underscore players—a coming together to meet\, check in\, sow s
 eeds for practice in the early part of the score. It is now called Assembl
 y.\n\nThis is a practice for all\, those who would like to learn a new way
  of being in the jam as well as those seasoned dancers - come and investig
 ate your relationship to Underscore\, its correlations to CI\, contemplati
 on\, composition\, listening/music\, performance\, and other interest.\n\n
 Ideally you are committing to staying for the entire stretch of time betwe
 en 5-8:30. It is a long time\, so if you already know you need extra snack
 s and drink or tea please come prepared. I will bring a couple of flasks o
 f hot drink – ginger tea and regular tea. You are of course free to stay
  as long as you like\, but make sure you start with the whole group at 5:3
 0 sharp!\n\nFor more information feel free to contact the teacher/facilit
 ator or info@contactdance.co.uk. We send out regular emails of class desc
 riptions\, to get these\, please sign-up to our mailing list.\n
