About this event
Contact is a group practice: a continually changing & evolving space, held by the attention of the movers present. It allows us to gather together to discover, enjoy, & witness ways of moving, interacting, & being. In this module, we will focus attention more towards how we sculpt space as a group, opening our collective perception & examining how we move as an interconnected whole - how we frame dances by watching, giving space, feeling when to move, & when to be still. We will work with structures & scores to frame improvisation, & specific techniques for working in trios & larger groups. A dance score can be understood as being similar to a score for music, giving specific points of focus & guidelines which offer structure & direction to an improvisation. We will focus on cultivating a deeper awareness of listening, breathing, giving, receiving, & timing; balancing technique & poetry, structure & freedom, as playful beings in motion.
