About this event
With softness & spaciousness already present - developed & understood in the body from the previous modules & training in-between - we will take time within this module to cultivate slowing down even more. From this spaciousness, we will discover the subtle nuances that allow for clearer & deeper communication within the dance. We will explore ideas & principles such as: sensing the gentle sliding of fascia that indicates direction of movement; tuning to a partners' breath to hear their intention; & waiting in stillness together to allow the dance to arise from your shared connection. This deep softness allows us to open more easily for physical intensity & dynamics in the dance. By first tuning to softness & expanding our capacity for embodied listening, we train our reflexes to react in situations of higher speed & increased potential risk. We will co-create a space of allowing & giving trust to oneself & our dancing partners, in order to feel more deeply the true nature of improvisation.
