Spring Series: Contact Improvisation
with Elske Seidel
14 classes starting on March, 23th and ending on June, 22th, 2022
The spring series offers insight into core principles, movement skills and qualities essential for dancing Contact Improvisation. We will redefine touch and its social implication by experiencing the skin as a sense organ in its ability to listen and read our moving weight. In a dance which explores and plays with sharing weight, we are refining the awareness of our bodies and its relationship toward gravity.
Among many other aspects, we will explore the subtleties of leaning, the lightness of giving and supporting weight, states of of being relaxed and ready, techniques of falling, landing and rising, and the playfulness and joy of moving together in Contact.
Together we will learn, research, and gradually discover the subtleties which allow us to dive into a deeply fulfilling experience – moving in solo and in contact.
This series welcomes people with no previous experience in CI, as well as people who wish to refresh and deepen their knowledge. Classes will build up successively and can be booked as continuation of the Fall and Winter Series to invite continuous practice.
