Grappling Monkey Nimble Tree - PlayDanceFight Research

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where Contact Improvisation, Playfight & Body Work Meet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What happens when Playfighting, bodywork, reactivity, mindfulness, and Contact Improvisation meet? Well, we don't really know and that's why this is not training but research! A research into how we can get to know ourselves in relation to others! A research about all forms of body-to-body coordination. To dance, to wrestle, to hug, to play, to perform, to compete, or in short to either move WITH or to move Against another person. To move WITH or to move AGAINST are two sides of the same coin and many valuable lessons can be found exploring the thin line between these two. And that line is exactly what Grappling Monkey Nimble Tree is about. In a sense, it is best experienced to fully understand it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Become As Fluent In Body2Body Language As In Speech ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Think of any type of game or dance you can do while in contact with others. They add chaos, reactivity, fun, and motivation. In a sense they are like a good talk... You don't know what you will be talking about 20 seconds from now! And it is that improvisation, that unknowing.....That quality what gives it REAL meaning, what keeps you wanting more... In a world filled with wonderful individual Practices, it is the practice oriented at 'WE' that will ultimately fulfill and give a staggering amount of meaning. For we are social creatures and meaning can only be arrived if there are other to share it with. So be curios, play and find real wisdom...embodied wisdom as you see that body2body play is a proxy for life itself. It is not about the endpoint of the game but about how to become a better person, a better group, a better society ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can we use physical interaction to understand & better who we are in relation to others? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How We Are / Body Work / Embodied Exploration ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to discern the current situation, discover ways to influence the situation, gain wisdom in how to influence the situation in a positive way (helping the body heal and feel good) with the use of curiosity, how we can expand our own boundaries and sense of self through exploring optionality & infinite games and constraints ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How We Connect / Communicative Partnering / Flow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to learn to listen, how to meet with appropriate force, how to flow, how to be more soft, precise and sensitive while still taking full responsibility for your own wants and needs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How We Be / Playfighting & Rough & Tumble Play / Readiness ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn how to be a kind gentle monster, how play can teach you how to be with yourself, others and the world, emotional regulation, spontaneous morality, how to cope with stress, fear and chaos while remaining alert and relax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does this resonate?
