Taught by Alistair Edmunds & Saskia Chaplin
Alistair and Saskia will share the teaching of this course, alternating sessions. We aim to offer explorations of the fundamentals of CI, enabling you to develop core skills to support fluidity and safety, whilst opening up to new possibilities in your movement.
The course is suitable for beginners as well as those experienced in the form. You are welcome to join for the whole course, for which there is a discount, or to attend on a drop in basis.
Wednesday 14th January: This first class will be taught by Saskia and will explore ‘ways in’ to the dance.
– : –
Contact Improvisation (CI) is based on the physical exploration of how the body moves through its own intelligence and how two or more bodies in contact with each other can move together, a dance that fine tunes your senses and wakes up your ability to listen and respond to what is happening in the moment. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies and enquiring minds.

Practicalities
Bring yourself as you are, loose comfortable clothing, kneepads if you have them, a curiosity to explore and an openness to be inspired from new ways in. It also helps to have a notebook to support your learning.
