Contact Improvisation Mini-Series (3-Part Workshop)

✨ Explore contact improvisation, connection, and new ways to move in a safe and welcoming space. ✨ Are you looking to deepen your body awareness, learn fluid partner dance, and connect with a warm community in Tallinn? Join us for a special 3-part Contact Improvisation Workshop Series hosted at Vana-Kalamaja 41 joogastuudio! Whether you want to drop in for a single session or dive deep across all three weeks, this series is designed to give you a smooth, joyful learning curve. 🗓️ DATES & TIME 📍 Location: Inbodhi Yoga Studio (Vana-Kalamaja 41-1, Tallinn) ⏰ Time: Mondays from 18:30 – 20:30 (Please arrive a little early so we can start right at 18:30!) ● Session 1: Monday, September 28th ● Session 2: Monday, October 5th ● Session 3: Monday, October 19th 🌿 WHAT TO EXPECT The structured format of the workshop provides a sense of security, incorporating both the learning of basic elements of contact dance and an improvisational component. Together, we will explore: • Solo dance with gravity & weight-shifting (alone, with a partner, and with the group). • Developing overall sensitivity to listen to another and create flow in Contact Improvisation (CI). • Organic, ergonomic ways to move and dance with joy and awareness. • Developing skills to become more aware of ourselves and others. • Learning to both lead and follow, support, and share body weight in relation to other(s) through shared space-time encounters. 💡 Good to know: All CI tasks and exercises are accessible to everyone - no previous experience needed! Each workshop builds on what we’ve embodied previously, but we will adapt you accordingly if you join mid-series. 🩰 WHAT TO WEAR & BRING Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.

From that period, I’ve carried with me the essential skill of exploring and improvising with gravity, the floor, and other dancers. In terms of physical training, it was a necessary step in my growth as a dancer, and as a person, it allowed me to develop awareness and trust in myself and others. While studying in England, I was a member of the Liverpool Improvisation Collective, organized by the renowned Mary Prestige and Jo Blowers. It remains an unforgettable experience to move for hours on end with other improvisers to the accompaniment of live music. I value both the broad learning opportunities offered by practicing contact improvisation (biomechanics, lifting techniques, etc.) and the non-judgmental attitude where “be as you are” holds true completely. In my own dance artistry, I use (contact) improvisation as my initial impulse." ❓ Have questions or hesitating to join? Drop us a message—we are happy to answer any questions! ✨
