SUMMARY:Weaving Our Attention Through Touch: From solo to collective contac
 t jamming With Jan-Ming Lee - Centre For Science and Art - 8 Feb 25 10:30
DESCRIPTION:\nOur day begins with solo floor work - moving in relationship 
 with earth’s gravity\, informed by anatomical\, developmental movement a
 nd qigong. A constant anchor is the Earth’s pull\, and how to let it sup
 port your direction of movement across space.\nThis will create a dynamic 
 landscape to meet each other through touch. Different qualities of touch c
 an become ways of communicating\, listening and building up a kinaesthetic
  map of ourselves in relation to others.\nAs we warm up into our dancing f
 urther\, we will dive into the practical containers of contact improvisati
 on\; tracing our attention of who is above and below\; to learn how we dan
 ce from ground to air together.\nWe will explore our spines and how it con
 nects to the tilt and curve of each other’s pelvis where your lower cent
 re is. Like the direction of water and steam\, we can play with the moveme
 nts of a radial nature\; such as scoop\, swing\, and bounce between ground
  and air\, to converge and diverge from your dance partner’s centres. We
  listen and respect each individual’s unique rhythm and timing in each m
 oment.\nWe arrive into a jam space in the afternoon\; being guided and hav
 ing open time to be witnessed in momentum and stillness in our dances toge
 ther.\nOpen to everyone - all levels of movement experience are welcome.\n

 ail.com\nBiography:\nJan-Ming’s love of contact improvisation began 20 y
 ears ago. Since then\, she has been nurtured and challenged by its creativ
 ity and contradictions of freedom\, risk and play. Amongst many things\, s
 he is informed by her ancestral healing practice\, an ongoing study of Chi
 nese Daoist internal energy arts\, somatic bodywork\, Afro-Brazilian marti
 al art of Capoeira\, and trauma-informed approaches advocating choice\, co
 nsent\, equity\, compassion and pleasure. She has a background as a perfor
 mance artist/facilitator in dance\, music and physical theatre\, and is a 
 practicing somatic bodyworker certified in The Pantarei Approach.\nwww.jan
