S teeped in somatic communication\, this adventure into our movement life be gins within ourselves\, but moves outwardly\, to where selfhood refuses to be stable\, set and limiting. Instead\, its instability is key to its cre ativity\, the play that appears when our relational communication is fluid \, Movement scores throughout the weekend will make this connection. In th is workshop we will form and reform what we know as touch\, exploring how this touch translates into the flow of movement. We increase the strength of our moving together with the human and the more than human worlds we al so are.\nCreative\, thoughtful\, heart based\, skill based\, our learning will be anchored in the core principles of Contact Improvisation\, such as : how to move weight like water - actions of cascading. The details of tou ching within weight exchange. The rising and hanging of the body – each mode significant to communication. How attention lives in the very small. Extending to form surfaces that arc. Learning to trust the physicality of our extended intelligence.\nMovement practices include lots of dancing bot h as skills building and exploration. Although\, in many cases these will be the same thing.\n\nDATE: Saturday 13th and 14th July 2024\nSCHEDULE: (S AT &\; SUN)\nArrive : 9.30am\nFinish: 5pm\n\nBOOKING PROCESS\nTo apply for this workshop\, please fill in the application shown in the below link so that we can get to know you better.
