Building up a functional underst anding of the underlying principles and structures of contact improvisatio n\, as well as widening the trust to our instincts\, impulses and intuitio n.\nExercises will alternate between contact and solo work to connect to o ur own body as well as to the group as a whole. Together we create an open \, safe space to feel free to enter different ways of moving and being.\nP laying around ideas of momentum\, suspension\, inertia\, falling and swing ing. Slowing down and breathing\, allowing time for listening\, sensing an d sinking deeper into moments and sensations. Fine tuning and subtle preci sion\nSaturday:\nGrounding &\; Earth-\nThrough slowing down and taking more time\, we sink into the deeper tissues that move slower than the musc les. Feeling the sliding of fascia\, the rolling of the organs\, the flowi ng of liquids through the body. Then\, when we enter physical connection w ith another body we have a softer body tone\, allowing for greater sensiti vity and awareness.\nFrom this place we will use specific exercises to exp lore tools that are helpful to work in contact such as\; sharing weight\, centre-to-centre\, leaning and supporting\, and rolling point of contact. Also using ideas around momentum\, suspension\, inertia &\; falling. To find effortless ways into weight transfers. Leading and following\, falli ng and spiralling...\nSunday\n- Spine &\; spirals -\nThe spine is an en dless source of fascination and discovery. We will study how it moves- pla ying with the many different qualities and vast ranges of motion. Offering specific movement patterns for optimal spine efficiency. This material is very helpful for integrating pathways in the body that are useful when en tering contact and also opening up new possibilities in your own body\, as well as investigating principles to give ‘offerings’ and ‘invitatio ns’ to others.\nAbout Hugh\nHugh is a movement artist specialising in Im provisation &\; Contact Improvisation.
