THE DANCE WE LIVE FOR brings intensive Contact Improv study, paced to be appropriate for dancers at all levels of experience, including bare bones beginners.

This workshop focuses on developing a mindset to approach Contact Improv as a healing form that can support day-to-day living as well as advancing one’s CI practice.

Some elements of the workshop will be:

♦ Becoming more aware of subtlety and comfortable with doing less

♦ Exploring how to use partnering on the floor as a foundation for nuanced unfolding communication, palpable connection into the core & reciprocal release of tension in our bodies

♦ Refining awareness of structural alignment so weight can travel efficiently and easily through the fluid architecture of the bones

♦ A deep, felt understanding of the basic physical principles and vocabulary that help build the foundation for Contact Improvisation

♦ Growing our capacity for response-ability and delight at our learning edges
