Contact Improvisation is based on the physical exploration of how the body moves through its own intelligence and how two or more bodies in contact with each other can move together. A dance that fine tunes your senses and wakes up your ability to listen and respond to what is happening in the moment. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, and all levels in between. It is a form open to all bodies and inquiring minds.
The class will be led from 6 – 7.30pm leading into open jam from 7.30pm – 8.15pm. The session runs from 6 to 8:15, so please be on time or you might not be able to take part.
Class Description
Finding your Flexible Feet Floating Firmly on the Floor
Focusing on upright CI (…off-balance and leaning), we’ll research how paying close attention to our feet and their contact to the floor facilitates freedom and fun in our CI dances – both solo and especially, in contact with partners.
The last Sunday of each month will be an open jam from 6 – 8:15pm with a live musician.
These Sunday sessions are run and taught by a community of contact dancers. Classes are open to all levels and generally led by a different teacher each week.
Participants are responsible for their own safety and well-being in the jam. Take care to be alert and sensitive to yourself and others. The organisers cannot accept responsibility or liability for injury.
