Improvisation
5 day intensive training
BEING READY
- an intermediate-advanced course in Contact Improvisation -
What does it mean to be ready to dance at any time, with anyone,
anywhere ? There are no set formulas, or specific manners to achieving this
state of readiness. There is, however, an attitude and a state of body-mind
that can be cultivated which can help bring us to that place of total alertness.
Being completely attentive and always prepared on all levels, will enable
us to go beyond thinking our way through the dance, and help us be attuned
to what is actually taking place. This full presence also allows us to be
freed of the mental chatter, planning ahead, and judgment, which so often
override the body's ability to make appropriate split-second choices.
In this way the improvisations can be entirely physical, playful, heartfelt,
surprising and enjoyable.
Explored themes will include:
- tumbling
- flying
- use of variable speeds
- use of direct action and initiation
- resistance
- disappearance
- subtle and surprising ways of moving weight
- flowing through unfamiliar circumstances
- extending our personal range of movement
- integrating our imagination and our heart
