After some modern dance training\, I perfor med through the 90's for British contemporary dance companies.\nI maintain an improvisational performance practice and have collaborated with many d ancers\, actors\, musicians and designers to create improvised performance .\nMy choreographic practice has followed and sometimes led the developmen t of my teaching. I started teaching Contact Improvisation in 1996 and gra dually expanded the scope of my pedagogy to include performance improvisat ion\, solo dancing and ensemble composition. I still enjoy dancing in my 5 0's and my teaching is an extension of that enjoyment.\nI am a technically minded teacher who eventually gives way to the inevitability of improvisa tion\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:\nSaturday - Making Patterns\nAfter a somatic w arm-up based in image led exploration\, we will be mixing improvisational approaches with choreographed movement in order to articulate the soft ath letics and multidirectional awareness of CI in solo movement patterns: for ward\, side and backward rolls\, dives\, knee slides\, handstands\, and fl oor surfing.\nFrom a base of solo awareness we will learn partnering patte rns that encourage spherical orientation and challenge us to tumble and ro ll through space.\nBy integrating patterns into our free CI dancing we wil l open space to fall\, fly and release as we dance together with risk\, hu mour and vigorous physicality.\n\nSunday - Breaking Patterns\nMovement pat terns and habits are essential for life and are part of what make us who w e are as individuals\, but an over dependence on CI vocabulary can limit o ur creativity. We will work on how to recognise our patterns\, how to appr eciate what they do for us and how to find alternatives. By working with r eversing\, redirecting\, interrupting\, pausing and focus shifting we will stimulate dances of surprise\, play and individuality.\nThe goal is to cr eate a space of open exploration where CI is a reference point for free im provisation\n\nCONTACT:\nYasin Hussain\nbristol.contactresearch@gmail.com\ n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://contactdance.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20 23/08/Rick.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:20231029T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
