Basics of Contact Improvisation: SPACE

What happens with our dance when we attend to the space around our body? The spaces in between, the space around, the space behind. It has a lot to do with directionality in our bodies, movement in space, our ability to fly, and our perception of the room and the jam space. Contact Improvisation is not about keeping physical contact all the time. Attend to the space and the dance will be blown to life. The whole room will be part of your dance. Let´s explore this together and grow our perceiving abilities, to bring this from being a concept to a real-time experience. Through simple exercises and focuses we will: Explore directionality in our bodies Look at how we are looking Up our listening skills Come into dances where the contact-point is only one part of the dance going on. And probably more :) To book your space and for more info, email [email protected] Price: Early Bird 600,- (until February 20th) Normal Bird 900,- Place and time: Rom for Dans, 12-4pm Saturday and Sunday This workshop is suitable for beginners, and for those who already feel at home in Contact Improvisation Ann Kristin Holten is a Dancer, a lover of Contact Improvisation, and a student of Osteopathy.
