Contact Improvisation is a 40 year old art-sport exploring the possibilities of bodies moving through physical contact: support, flow, resistance, lifts, and falling together through space. The workshop will be one part technical work to two parts poetic exploration. Technical explorations develop functional physical awareness of self and other. Poetic explorations investigate art-making and poetic sensibility in movement together through physical contact. We develop tools and perspectives for distilling and diversifying our explorations of physical contact and use the metaphor of “poetry” in exploring moving together. The technical work is both a pleasure in itself and a tool for more refined art-making. This workshop is compliment to the Physical Poetics workshop in Leipzig, 18-20 February. The two workshops will have some overlapping material but will build in different directions. They me done separately or together. Discount available for those doing both workshops See website for registration and more details www.bodyresearch.org
