YIELDING TOGETHER - Contact Improvisation Intensive - Goa, India

YIELDING TOGETHER A 9 days intensive in Contact Improvisation Simply put, yielding means to actively meet something. And actively meeting something means your relationship to that something will change. In application it is not just one’s own body weight in relationship to the earth but also into the space around. In sharing the practice of yielding together, the invitation is to melt into the easeful dance of life feeling both supported and easeful. Through Contact Improvisation, we will dive into movement as an open-ended exploration of sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative expression of ourselves. Turning inwards, with a somatic approach, spending time with our inner landscapes, letting the outer and more larger expression appear from the sensations inside. Some of the aspects of Contact Improvisation that we would be studying in this workshop are: - communicating through weight and how it supports our movement in solo and in contact with other bodies. - spirals and effortless movement together - breathing, trusting and deep listening - support, following and leading, momentum - qualities that we wish to cultivate are listening, stillness, curiosity, fluidity, playfulness, spontaneity - organic and supported flights FACILITATED BY Harman VENUE AND LOCATION: Jungle Dance Theatre, Arambol, Goa, India DATES: 10th Jan to 18th Jan, 2026 Also possible to join only first 3 days (beginner friendly) or last 5 days TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: Everyday, 10 AM- 3 PM (includes tea/snacks break) PARTICIPATION FEE Super Early bird price offer is ON and it ends on 15th Dec.

He studied Electronics And Instrumentation Engineering and earned a living as a software developer. Much later, he got introduced and immersed into the experience and exploration of art and body movement. He was deeply touched and moved by the practice of Contact Improvisation 7 years ago and since then, he has been exploring different dimensions of movement and awareness that it has to offer. To support his adventure of Contact Improvisation, he has studied various movement practices including axis syllabus, body mind centering (BMC), feldenkrais method, contemporary dance floor work, somatic practices, body work and capoeira.
