Contact Improvisation Class and Jam

Class begins at 7pm. Feel welcome to join us from 6:30pm for a longer warm-up/stretching/arriving. CI is a mindfulness-based movement practice that encourages the development of embodied presence. We will look at sharing weight with a partner, pouring weight through their body and into the ground. We will learn to locate our centre proprioceptively, as well as how to intuit the location of our partners' centre. We shall explore the kinetic spiral, natures most efficient method of movement. We will explore how to use the 'rolling point of contact' as well as covering the basic principles of basing and flying. The technical instruction and improvisational facilitation will run for an hour and a quarter, and we shall then open the class into a jam where we can explore more deeply the form with fresh learning in our bodies. Wear comfortable clothes. Long sleeves are advised even in the heat. The cost is $30, cash is preferred but bank transfer is possible. Kieran Mitchell BSB 082021 ACC 582822580
