Contact Improvisation instruction with a 'twist of consciousness'! Cultivate peace while learning the skills and techniques of Contact Improvisation. These techniques are taught using movement in the dance space as a metaphor for how we conduct ourselves and interact with others, out in the world. 'The way we do one thing is the way we do anything.' This three hour playshop will include instruction for the beginner to intermediate level contact dancer. Following the technique instruction we will enter into a brief meditation for peace: peace first within ourselves and ultimately, peace in the world. From this meditative space we will move organically into a solo dancing meditation and finally ease into a full on Contact Jam! Come dance with us and 'Be The Peace You Want To See'!
Who is this Playshop appropriate for?
Anyone who has a desire to move their body freely, contact in the dance space with other dancing bodies and who is willing to participate in some level of Self reflection will enjoy this playshop. Men and women alike are encouraged to participate. Depending upon maturity and desire, teens are also encouraged to participate. No previous experience is necessary!
What to wear? What to bring?
Wear comfortable clothing that will allow your body to move through its fullest ranges of motion. Expect to dance barefoot with no socks because they create slippage and do not make for safe dancing. Make sure to bring water. A pen & journal are very helpful as well to make note of any powerful insights and images that may occur to you during the process and that feel important to remember. It is also very important to bring an open mind and open heart.
