Weight and Weightlessness
Flight and Fall
A workshop for solo, duet and trio work in Contact Improvisation
with
Jacky Miredin (Rome)
Charlie Morrissey (UK)
Adrian Russi (Switzerland)
-———————————————————————————-
This workshop explores Contact Improvisation in trio and duet work with three acclaimed and highly experienced male dancers and teachers.
Looking at upward motion and elevation, lifting and falling, elasticity and connection,
resistance and yielding – via the connection with two partners.
We will work with three-dimensional awareness, and explore the space behind, above, below
and in front of us – both external and internal experiences of it, as a way to facilitate
an agile and playful approach to the many choices we encounter in our dancing.
We will use momentum and weight as a catalyst for lifts,
and find ways in which we can ride the momentum created by setting our masses in motion.
We will capitalise on this opportunity to work in trios and use it to go
beyond our perception of what is possible in our dancing, by working with two partners
to help us find places and pathways we have not yet been able to explore with one.
Be ready to dance! This workshop will be physical, fun and exhilarating.
Participants should have a good base in Contact Improvisation.
