Contact Improvisation Intermediate
DE+EN | 1x week
Contact improvisation opens a field in which we perceive our relation to gravity. We move our bodies while allowing gravity to move us into the possibility of grounded lightness, ease and flow. By softening and releasing into our connection with the earth, movement rises out of the support. We sense gravity as it moves through us, allowing our dance to emerge from a state of curiosity and relaxed, connected readiness.

In the Spring Series one essential theme we will explore is the continuity and flow of falling weight - how do moments of falling transform into moments of flight?
As we refine our ability to sense the living alignment in leaning, we continuously adjust to the changing moment together, finding the earth through each other.
What are helpful techniques for inviting and transporting weight as we dance?
How can we trust our weight with and into the moving support of our partner and respond on top with lightness and listening, while feeling safe?
Together we will learn, research, and gradually discover the subtleties which allow us to dive into the experience of playfulness and joy in moving together in Contact.
The INTERMEDIATE spring series is designed for people with previous experience in CI and can be booked as a continuation of the fall and winter series. It invites a space for practice and continuity in a familiar group.
* 14 sessions (not on May 14, 2026)
