In this workshop we will explore how the practice of contact improvisation can grow when we develop skills of moving on our own and in ensemble contexts. We will consider how and when to compose our choices and when to rely on the reflexes to guide our choices, drawing on our physical intelligence. Bringing a compositional mindset to CI and dance improvisation takes practice.

The challenge is to stay in the body while steering our choices with a lightly held poetic sensibility.

The benefits of this way of working are that one can fluidly shift from dancing in and out of contact, incorporating a felt and imaginative sense of our body, others with whom we are dancing, and the places and spaces we inhabit. We will work with the development of movement, image, gesture, motif, and partnering skills.

Participants will be presented with specific exercises designed to develop the skills of mobile support, changing levels, functional pathways, and alignment. We will develop the syntax of touch, tone, and resistance.
