CI on Saturday with Angela-Mara Florant

One Saturday per month we open our doors, studio and hearts at SerVivo for a full day of dancing and practising Contact Improvisation. We invite special teachers, bringing diverse perspectives and different approaches to this wonderful dance form. In the morning we will dive deep with a 2.5-hour CI class, followed by a break with a potluck lunch to connect and rest. Then we go in the second round: the afternoon jam, also for 2.5 hours. Let’s spend the day together in Arrábida, cultivating presence, community, and exploring the unknown! 🗓12th Edition: 7 November with Angela-Mara Florant HEAD LESS - LOSING CONTROL Focussing attention on the roundest body part, the highest point of the body, resting on the spine, which contains all the senses and the brain, is hard but extremely fragile – the head. Letting go of the head, resting our heads on each other’s body and falling head first… trusting our partner, controlling and losing control. How can the head lead us into a dance? How is it when the head serves as hands to navigate surfaces through touch? We will explore the relationship between our head and the rest of our body, and how our head relates to the physical landscapes of our dance partners. The class will include bodywork and other exercises to raise awareness of the head and neck. 🕥 Schedule & Prices Morning CI Class (2.5h): 10:30–13:00 Sliding scale: 15€–30€ Lunch: Potluck — bring something to share CI Jam (2.5h): 15:30–18:00 Sliding scale: 8€–20€ 🔗 Registration required for the class 👉 link in bio
