SUMMARY:Contact Improvisation Class and Jam - DMAC\, (4th Floor) Hamilton H
 ouse - 3 Nov 19 18:00
DESCRIPTION:Contact Improvisation is based on the physical exploration of h
 ow 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 happeni
 ng in the moment. Sometimes wild and athletic\, sometimes quiet and medita
 tive\, and all levels in between. It is a form open to all bodies and inqu
 iring minds.\n\nThe class will be led from 6 - 7.30pm leading into open ja
 m from 7.30pm - 8.15pm.\nClass Description\n\nWe are going to explore deep
 er the themes and aspects of Zosia’s material.\n\n\n\nPulsation is the b
 asic\, the basis and the beginning. We pulsate on many levels\, expansion 
 and contraction creates life at a cellular level\, maintains life through 
 breathe and facilitates movement into the world through muscular action an
 d rhythmic vibration. Can we also pulsate our attention so that we can be 
 both with ourselves and with others- relating to space\, contact\, communi
 cation or performance without losing inward connection?\n\nThrough imagery
 \, imagination and contact with others\, we aim to find fluidity and possi
 bility in our dancing whilst paying attention to our own needs and boundar
 ies. There are invitations to be slow and soft as well as invitations to e
 mbrace effort and dynamism.\n\nEvery body is a dancing body\nBiography\nZo
 sia Jo is a dance artist\, writer and maker. Her work is rooted in a desir
 e for connectivity and communication through movement\, improvisation and 
 performance. Zosia’s choreographic practice focuses on feminist themes\,
  use of voice and spoken word\, connecting to communities and challenging 
 traditional theatrical hierarchies. She has made and shown work in London\
 , Glasgow\, Edinburgh\, Brighton\, Cairo (Egypt) and across Wales. Origina
 lly trained at Northern School of Contemporary Dance\, Zosia also holds ce
 rtificates in Psychotherapy from Spectrum Therapy and in 2018 Zosia comple
 ted MA Creative Practice\, Dance Professional Practice at Independent Danc
 e/Trinity Laban. She now lives in Cardiff and is a guest lecturer at Unive
 rsity of Wales Trinity Saint David\, improvisation and choreography teache
 r at Rubicon Dance\, artist in residence at Cardiff MADE\, and Programming
  Coordinator at Groundwork Pro. Zosia’s Pembrokeshire based company\, Jo
 on Dance\, was founded in 2008 with Torch Theatre and combines inclusive c
 ommunity dance with professional performance practice.\n\n\n\nThe last Sun
 day of each month will be an open jam from 6 - 8:15pm with a live musician
 .\n\nThese Sunday sessions are run and taught by a community of contact da
 ncers. Classes are open to all levels and generally led by a different tea
 cher each week.\n\nParticipants are responsible for their own safety and w
 ellbeing in the jam. Take care to be alert and sensitive to yourself and o
 thers. The organisers cannot accept responsibility or liability for injury
