Horizontal falling towards flying

Contact improvisation workshop - Horizontal falling towards flying Contact improvisation is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their movement; gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to feel these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. This workshop will include rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner. We will aim towards movable support and gentle flying technique. This could be also called as horizontal falling. This workshop is parallel workshop with contact improvisation teacher Ruslan Baranov from Kiev, Ukraine. We will reach out online to Kiev. Mirva Mäkinen and Ruslan Baranov will teach partly together.
