About this Event

The touch Underneath Learning to integrate some basic contact-impro techniques in the flow of your dance Sebas and Franca dancing (c) Weekend workshop in Amsterdam. This workshop will focus on various Contact-Impro aspects, such as easy rolling, little lifts, navigating around & over a partner, balancing & falling together, following & guiding, etc. In CI, under the techniques there is a deep layer of embodied sensing. The subtle sensing and communicating through the touch is what makes contact improvisation such a rich dance experience. This embodied sensing will be the starting point of our dancing days, bringing us gradually from body awareness to the more technical stuff. We will learn how to integrate this, so that we can grow from forms and exercises to a joyful flow of dancing. These workshops with Sebas will take everyone a bit further on their journey through the Contact-Impro world. With every level of experience you can learn something new. And of course, it is nice to move a longer period together, feeling your body and dancing with each other. ——————————————— * * * PRACTICALS * * * ——————————————— ● Please Register via [email protected] For questions, ask Sebas: email or 06-1833 4743 ● Price: - Early Bird Until 15 July: € 100 (low income: €85 or more) - Late bird: € 130 (low income: € 100 or more) - Bring a friend: both pay € 110 Contact me, if the price is a problem ● Time: on both days: 10:00 – 17:00 with a 1h break.
