Contact Improvisation workshop with Daniel Mang

A mini-workshop in Contact Improvisation with international guest teacher Daniel Mang Saturday, June 15 10am-2pm 10024 Newtown Road, Nevada City, CA 95959 The content We will be working with the fundamentals of contact improvisation, such as: the relation to gravity, the physical contact between movers and the momentum of moving bodies; modulating tone, sharing weight, and waking up our reflexes and sense of balance. We will explore touch and movement as relational practices. We will work with personal boundaries, communication, sensation and emotion. We will address the norms that govern how we live and experience our bodies and how society ascribes meaning to different kinds of touch and different zones of the body. All levels of experience and all kinds of bodies are welcome. The teacher Contact improvisation has been my primary movement practice since 1986. I also do aikido and am strongly influenced by the Feldenkrais method, Body Mind Centering and ideokinesis. I have been teaching contact improvisation since 1990 – mostly in Europe, but also in North America, Asia and Australia. My pedagogy is informed by my background as a professional bodyworker, my studies in physiotherapy and osteopathy, my experience with various approaches to improving communication and resolving conflict, and by my politics. I am based in Sweden. Fee Early bird price: $25 to $65 on a sliding scale according to your income. Early bird ends June 13, 11:59 pm. Regular price: $35 to $75 sliding scale.
