The touch you are reachi ng for or the sharing of weight is not yet invented or formed. Weight shar ing in contact improvisation is a way of being in the unknowable\, engagin g with the unpredictable\, and placing oneself in the in-between. Part of this in-betweenness consists of risk\; you have to risk yourself to open t oward that potentiality. It is this risk\, this unknown and this unpredict able nature\, which is at the core of Harriet and Joaquín's interest in c ontact improvisation. We enter this workshop with curiosity to both affect and be affected by (or through?) weight sharing.\nDuring the weekend of c ourse\, we will dance\, we will dance big and also small. We (Harriet and Joaquín) will share clear technical tools that we have found useful in ou r dance practice as well as words\; our own and the abundant knowledge of others. We believe that ‘solo’ exploration\, or duetting with the floo r\, gives a grounding that contact and group dances can be fed by\; we wil l start there\, finding ourselves before giving and sharing weight in duet s/trios/groups. Inevitably in sharing weight\, we will find ourselves work ing with other essential tools (falling\, rolling-point of contact\, spira ls). With co-creation of scores\, we will dissect and research our way in CI.\nThis is open for all levels of experienced CI movers.\n\n| SCHEDULE | \nSat 18 Feb\n10 am - 5 pm\n*1 h 15 m lunch break\nSun 19 Feb\n10 am - 5 p m\n*1 h 15 m lunch break\n\n| REGISTRATION |\nEarly bird 90 £ until 27th Jan\nFull Price 120 £.\nTo register please email us at peripheral.ci@gmai l.com\nor message +447708252649 on Whatsapp\nWe ask that you pay the whole price or 50% deposit to secure your place\, the other 50% can be paid up until the workshop *.\nIf you are unable to attend the whole weekend\, sen d us a message to pop in for either Saturday or Sunday!\nIf the financial aspect is stopping you from dancing please contact us and we will try to f ind an arrangement.\nPlaces are limited to 28 participants\n* Once you reg ister\, due to organizational reasons\, the deposit is not refundable.\n\n | LOCATION |\nWe have the lovely St Michael's Parish Hall\, with its large \, bright studio and a little kitchen to warm your winter soups.\nWebsite:  https://www.stmichaelsparishhall.co.uk\nGoogle maps: https://www.google .com/.../data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0...\n\nJoaquín Alfei (Argentina/Italy)\nExist ing in the practices of (contact) improvisation\, neuroscience\, and philo sophy\, I am presently obsessed in ‘ways of knowing’ and ‘gestures ’ of research in dance improvisation and science. Challenging classical divergences between subject/object\, in both my dancing explorations and a cademic work. And so\, what am I ‘(Re)union’ of? A section that seems to be mandatory in this kind of (Bio)presentation: I have grown (in Europe ) thinking in movement with the ideas and collaboration of/with Asaf Bachr ach\, Florencia Campise\, and Otto Akkanen. Perhaps among the people who h ave most influenced/nourished me with their material at specific improvisa tion workshops/labs are Ray Chung\, Daniel Lepkof\, Nita Little\, Charlie Morrisey\, Julyen Hamilton\, Scott Smith\, and Karen Nelson.\nViewing (con tact) improvisation as multi-faceted\, I am absorbed in the physical aspec ts of the study\, but too theory\, conversation\, written and artistic cre ation. Upon meeting (Contact) Improvisation many years ago\, I found mysel f centered around the form\, dancing internationally between labs\, worksh ops\, teaching\, residencies\, jams\, performances\, collective and person al projects. I am also active in the field and practice of Neuroscience\, holding a Ph.D. (KU Leuven\, BEL) and position at the National Research Co uncil (ARG).\nhttps://vimeo.com/user154670378\n\nHarriet Roberts (UK)\nCon tinuously asking where she can next dance contact improvisation\; Harriet has traveled extensively in search of hubs\, homes and bodies researching CI. She has supported and taught within a variety of residencies dedicated to the form as well as festival\, workshop\, and university settings. Har riet is trained in contemporary dance\, diving to both facilitation and pe rformative work\, she draws particularly on somatic enquiry and experienti al anatomy. Founding the platform WeWomb\, Harriet has spent the last year s dedicated to the education and celebration of reproductive health. Shari ng classes\, courses\, performance and film raising the voice of the bleed ing and birthing body. Videography and photography sit in a place of passi on for Harriet\, interweaving themselves in all parts of her creative work . She divides and overlaps her time as a doula\, dancer and hands-on thera pist.\nhttps://vimeo.com/harrietrobertsdance\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://contactdance.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20 22/12/HarrietR.jpg CATEGORIES:CI Workshop LOCATION:St. Michael's Parish Hall\, Park Ln\, Bristol BS2 8BE\, Bristol\, BS2 8BE\, United Kingdom GEO:51.457;-2.59932 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Park Ln\, Bristol BS2 8BE\, Bristol\, BS2 8BE\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=St. Michael 's Parish Hall:geo:51.457,-2.59932 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
