We use the Contact Improvisation fields as our free territory where to explore, relate and concreate. The practice has 4 main Pillars: 1- Wellbeing and health: we practice to reconnect with our complete physical structure, exploring it tridimensionally to recognise it and integrate it. Making ourselves healthier and more vital at every level. 2- Freedom, Integrity and empowerment: Once we have recognized ourselves, we are able to make decisions with specific goals that allows to improve our capacities and abilities. Learning to manage simultaneus forces to create systems wheres the forces and energy flows and accumulate inside of our structure. 3- Creativity and expression: Allowing ourselves to connect with whatever arises from our inner self, we explore, play and release whatever we need using our freedom and creativity in a safeful and respectful way. Connecting with the of movement as a creative action and way of expression too. How to release tensions into action, how to use th unknown and the not doing as a creative force. 4- Relating, Caring and Cooperation: We practice how to listening, observe and respect ourselves and others. How to create links and connection without words and how to keep ourselves sensitives to feel the other´s freedom.
