PATH OF LEARNING
What
was your first encounter with Contact Improvisation?
Was it in a class? At a jam? Seeing a performance? Watching a video? A friend
shared it with you? How did you go about beginning to learn CI?
All of us are born with the tools, resources, and abilities to learn--whether
we wanted to or not-----about the world around us and how to interact with
it. This learning takes place mostly unconsciously at first, and more mindfully
as time passes. Movement and perception are inseparably interlinked and enable
us to learn about our environment. How we might have learned Contact Improvisation,
is not unlike how we learned about the world growing up. This workshop focuses
on learning and uncovering the processes that enable us to learn, and continue
to learn, while trusting in, and being guided by, our intuition, knowledge,
and intelligence. Which physical, perceptual, cognitive skills are necessary
to become accomplished in the practice of CI? Focusing on specific skills
and how best to learn them efficiently, effortlessly, and playfully, we will
contrast and compare, mix and match various modalities and practices to synthesize
new ways of learning familiar ones. We will tune into, identify, and support
our individual learning styles, and how best to facilitate the ongoing process
of expanding and increasing our range of skills and possibilities in the dance.
Also, to enable ourselves to support this process with others in various settings
or situations. We'll research and utilize methods inspired by cognitive science,
radical constructivism, various body-mind practices (martial arts, Authentic
Movement, Shiatsu, functional anatomy), as well as semiotics, and design,
to name but a few. A trans-disciplinary systems (holistic) approach to learning
is emphasized and encouraged.
