Communicative Partnering - The Basics of Contact Improvisation

Welcome to Communicative Partnering, where our aim is to get as good in body-to-body coordination as we are at language! In this fifth workshop we will look into how we can intuitively communicate better with our bodies us different tasks, movement situations and games. We will dive deep in the overarching concepts of how to talk. How do we touch & move in such a way that we can have clear conversations AND also stay open for the body conversation to go anywhere! The best conversations are those where we both have no idea what we are going to be talking about 30 seconds from now. Expect a lot of fun, dances, exploratory games and possibly a new way to look at Contact Improvisation....I hope to see you there! ------------ Virgil's Bio ------------ Virgil has been interested in Movement his entire life.
