Composition in CI with Anjelika and Leonardo

In frame of the festival Somatiq. Contact Village in Ukraine. Aug 14-20, 2017 Anjelika Doniy and Leonardo Lambruscini Composition in Contact Improvisation A workshop about dance and the things in it that are visible and invisible Vision is our way of seeing things. We will experiment with vision and stretch our ability to see from safety to aesthetic pleasure. We will also look at what happens if vision is not our only way of looking and seeing. We will learn to trust this knowledge with our eyes open and closed. We will practice CI and its relationship with the composition of space, time and place. We will work with time and understand movement principles. We will discipline the capacity to stay focused in the chaos and spontaneous in the clear boundaries of the form. I am interested in seeing dance from the point of view of time, quantity, space, dimensions, pressure, gravity, temperature. Like baking a cake. Or calculating the weather. Or telling fortune in the coffee grounds. We’ll research the questions: What is visible, predictable, teachable? What is hidden, unpredictable and unteachable? Can we see a jam as an art work in progress? How does a witness influence a dancer? And how does a dancer influence a witness? We will always start with ourselves and return to ourselves through dance, awareness, attention, silence. CI is a perfect way to research different questions about dance, creativity, living through whatever is there. We invite you to walk the ladder from “real” to “magical” and back =) Our rivers will climb mountains. Life will surely become clearer! About our dance: Mutual inspirations..... The space inside, outside and between us. The moving body rings and rings in space, breathe and if it in contact with the floor or other body - generates shapes and sounds. Moments of crisis. A status that might, at first glance, seem difficult, becomes a moment in which new opportunities arise, giving new inputs. So much similarity in the behavior, waiting moments and sharp decisions. And in the same time this dance is surprising me from moment to moment. I am close to you and foreigner to myself... And I am ready to learn from you to become myself again and again.
