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 whole session runs from 6 – 8:15, so please come on time or you may not be able to take part.

Sunday’s class will be a continuation of last week. We will explore qualities of moving. Different scores and structures we can play with in solo, duo, trio, quartet, quintet and all the way up to everyone in the whole room. How to stay present in improvising rather than be stuck in known patterns of CI.

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.
