Contact Improvisation & Axis Syllabus in München

After a wonderful first experience of collaboration in Munich with Johannes Anzenhofer in Mars, we decided to re-unite and offer a second week-end to our Contact Improvisation and Axis Syllabus series with Live Musik! Yeaaahhh!!! It will happen very soon, October 21 and 22. Contact-Improvisation and Axis Syllabus workshop with live music This week-end is designed by Antoine, in alliance with Johannes and his instruments, they intend to create a collaborative and supportive space, to journey in a colourful environment of somatic experiences, scores and guided exercises, to build awareness of one’s own body and that of one’s partner as we move. The sessions will eventually open into a space for jamming and improvising. The unique and formless improvisational nature of contact improvisation will lead us into an immersive and hopefully delightful experience! This week-end, Antoine is intending to adress more specifically the phenomenon of « Falling » Falling is a basic human experience, endlessly returning and daily condition in our gravitational field. We are so used to it, we don t notice anymore when it is happening. Antoine will provide reflections to think critically about the stereotypes and negative associations we spontaneously attach to falling. He will detail basic building blocs for falling practices, offer concepts, sensory experience, and frames with low (and adjustable) risk and impact for practicing and repeating in solo and partnered situations. Expect information about the body structure and its relation to movement potential or limitation, based on research made within the Axis Syllabus system. The Axis Syllabus is an interdisciplinary research project looking into general principles of human movement underlying any physical activities. This workshop is suitable for any level of experience with contact-improvisation. It is an opportunity to engage with fellow humans, discover and challenge oneself and develop trust, adaptability and weight sharing skills. PS: The workshop will be mostly in english but translation in german will be welcome and interwoven if needed Antoine Ragot: Antoine was born in Poitiers, France and is now based in Berlin, Lake Studios, where he currently runs a yearly movement education program (www.movementartisans.net) together with Kira Kirsch.
