Class Description

Conversations in the Gravity Field 5
Attending to Attention
How does the way our attention travels in space and time shift the way we move in relationship to the surroundings and to  one another? In this class we will explore the ongoing dialogue between different modalities to ‘attend’ to the present moment, and notice how it influences our impulse to move.
Acknowledging the path of our attentive state, navigating through the map of the ‘extended’ body, embracing the primal language of gravity as a way to re-negotiate possible ways of coming in and out of contact.

The Jam

A jam is an informal gathering of dancers. There is no teacher, but space and time to develop skills and confidence. You are free to dance, rest, or sit and watch, as you wish. The jam provides an opportunity to explore and integrate techniques you have learned, and to find your own routes into dancing.

At some jams a teacher will facilitate a score to follow such as a focused (silent) jam, the Underscore (developed by Nancy Stark-Smith), or a blindfold (or eyes-closed) jam, this will normally be advertised via our regular mailout – so sign-up if you want advance notice.

  • Live musicians will improvise with the dancing at many of the jams.
  • For more information, please email info@contactdance.co.uk or contact the individual teachers.
