Contact + Improvisation

A playful and focused approach to dancing together. Includes: movement sourcing, contact improv, tuning scores, ensemble states, authentic movement instant composition and improvisation. I’m hoping to complicate and simplify the ways we dance, connect and witness each other. It’s not a focus , but watching (and being watched) happens at the jam. I use to run a “performance jam” in which the watching was more intentional than at a contact jam, but less formal (less dualistic, less performative) than a performance. In this workshop I’ll share scores to get us playing and connecting. We will experiment with ways of watching. The iNFO This workshop is for those interested in performing and those interested in not performing (for example: discovering our selves as improvisors, connecting with others through movement, deepening our movement practice, and witnessing). The material will range from compositional practice to exploring the intangibles (curiosity, vulnerability, commitment, presence). Sourcing--connecting with your body, impulses + spontaneity Ensemble states--tuning exercises, composition and non-composition, Performance Jam--open space with intention and group focus, but less rigid than a formal performance. Scores--the way in, Aesthetics--how we watch. $95 https://momence.com/s/99121756 CONVERSATION: [email protected]
