About this event
Rooted in Motion Module 3 — FALLING & CATCHING 16th - 20th December 2026 Eden Studios, Berlin, Germany We will begin by playing with gravity & momentum, focusing on the ideas of falling & flying — both in solo movement, & in contact with others. We develop confidence in our abilities by starting close to the ground & building up through different levels, developing embodied trust. From researching the subtle mechanics of the 'small dance' in solo movement, as well as suspension & reaching, we progress into using spirals & momentum, discovering fluid ways of lifting each other by 'catching a ride'. Working with the frame of the arms, we explore ways to connect to space & find counterbalance, providing frames to both lift & be lifted, & offering physical structures to be explored. We will focus in on the details & technique of body tone, alignment, & small points of contact, which all help with finding lightness in being lifted & efficiency in lifting. As well as these specific points of focus, there will be time given for free exploration, to integrate the material into the dance naturally & organically.
