Contact Improvisation in water

Contact Improvisation in water is a spontaneous dance beyond the limits of weight and gravity. We allow water to do the work. It is a process of relaxation and releasing unnecessary thoughts, a way to let your rush and all the unnecessary activity go... A deep experience of slowing down, and connecting with ourselves through tenderness and care. 2 of January we will meet in a warm pool for a class and jam in water. At the class we will work with the main principles of water dance, such as how to use our weight and buoyancy in order to create effortless movement. ✨ Facilitator: Ola Hasia - a Ukrainian & nomadic dance lover and dance teacher. Contact Improvisation on land and in water, freediving, Axis Syllabus, Embodiment, ecological teaching and trauma-aware work- has been her main research over recent years. She combines and applies these at her workshops of CI in water. ✨FAQ✨ 💧I never tried Water CI, may I join? Yes, this class starts with basic principles of movement in water, previous experience in water dancing is not needed. 💧I never tried regular CI, may I join? For this class experience in CI is required. However there will be another workshop 6-7 of January open level. 💧I’m not a good swimmer, may I join? If you mean that you can’t swim long distances/fast/effective - then yes, you can. This course has nothing to do with the common understanding of swimming. But it might improve your swimming abilities. 💧I'm afraid of water, may I join? Yes, it might be possible, but contact Ola before registering, you will need to have a private session beforehand. 💧Do I need to come with a partner?
