After spending a full month dancing and researching Contact Improvisation in Japan, I feel inspired to share this experience with you.
This session is open to all levels of CI and Improvisation.
We will play with ideas, body, space, touch and surrounding, to deepen your presence in CI and explore physical and spatial contact with partners or the group.

- Saturday: The focus is on contact improvisation, we will weave in shadow work, light and shadow – how does this affect our dance, our perception of contact, the decisions we make in light or shadow? We will play, explore and weave our dance together. (Inspiration by Rie Takagi)
- Saturday: We will also focus on dancing in contact with objects, for example: How does a contact trio with another dancer and a chair come about? How do we stay connected to ourselves, the other person, and the object? (Inspiration by Colleen Coy)
- Saturday: Ying and Yang in our belly, Ying to soften our movements, to go inward, Yang to open up and express our need to show ourselves. Where do we find this flow in our dance in contact improvisation? (Inspiration by Wataru Murakami)

Aerial aspects of contact improvisation: flying, catching, landing,
fluid acrobatics, deft maneuvers.
For the acrobatics. Everyone will work at their own level and will learn best
by building group safety and trust.
by building group safety and trust.
We will practice integrating the flying and acrobatics
into the contact flow. That is: aerial interactions that increase the contact.
We’ll do some of my favorite contact exercises and current curiosities. Created or
learned over the decades investigation and indulgence.
