STATES OF LISTENING (Contact Improvisation Workshop) by Adrianna Michalska

🌀𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚🌀 (Contact Improvisation Intensive) by 𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗞𝗔 . . 🗒️𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: In this workshop we will focus on the unique aspect of Contact Improvisation - the different states of listening through movement to oneself, to others, and to the surrounding environment. As a movement practice that emphasizes the principles of movement rather than set steps, Contact Improvisation fosters the intense listening that allows developing the relationship of the mover to every moment. We will practice paying attention to the subtleties of every moment and tracking and inhabiting the personal richness of every dancer. We will work on understanding the functioning of our own bodies whilst being in connection with others. . . ✅This workshop is open to both beginners and experienced practitioners of Contact Improvisation✅ . . 🗓️ 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 & 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘🗓️ 𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝟮𝟭 𝗦𝗲𝗽 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 🌀10AM-1PM: 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 (𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽) 💚2.30-4.30PM: 𝗖𝗜 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗺 (𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰) . . 📍 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: MIAO DANCE (18 Boon Lay Way, #10-123, TradeHub21 Singapore 609966) . . 🐦‍⬛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗢 (Until Sat 20 Sep) 🌻 Combo!

Adrianna graduated with a Dance and Culture degree from University of Surrey, UK and Next Choreography course at Siobhan Davies Studios, UK, and is a certified DanceAbility teacher. With her work Adrianna traveled, performed, and shared with many diverse audiences in India, Thailand, Romania, Poland, Moldova, United Kingdom, Singapore, India, and more. Examples of some of the collaborations include: Stopgap Dance Company (2013-2015), Candoco Dance Company (2016), Curba de Cultura (2018), Swaraj University (2020), Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (2021), Moksha Contemporary Dance School (2021), Contact Improvisation Residency and CI@50 Conference in Oberlin, Ohio (2022), Warsaw Flow Festival 2023 (teacher), EIX Barcelona festival 2024 (teacher, performer). Adrianna is interested in embracing artistic practices from different cultures into a creative process, and looking at the trans-disciplinary potential when working with text, image, sound, and movement. With her work she aims to develop a better understanding of an artistic ensemble as interdependent on the exchange of attention, perception, judgment, and decision-making of its members. She is also curious about working with instant composition in performances and pushing the boundaries of spectator-performer relationship through participatory and experiential pieces. Currently Adrianna is collaborating with Contact Improv India and InContact - organizations that foster the development of Contact Improvisation scene in India through movement arts residencies, workshops, regular classes, jams, performances, and discussions. . .
