Enhancing Relational Intelligence: Skillful Physical Communication for Contact and Ensemble Improvisation – 4 day workshop
4-7 June
The Quadrangle Trust, The Granary,
Shoreham Road Shoreham Kent TN14 7RP
The core of this workshop trains dancers in relational skills: with the earth, the physics of motion, and with our selves and one another in the spaces of being. We focus on practices that support inter and intra personal communication and creative communion while developing our movement skills.
Communication skills are never separate from those that allow us to move with ease, have trust in our abilities, and gain the freedom to be co-creative. While we anchor our work in functional skills, we will learn the difference between reflexive, reactive, responsive, and communitive (from “communion”) relations so that we all move with relational intelligence. Learning to dance the full bodymind means developing attentional skills – the ability to attend to embodied attention which includes learning how to seek and support these skills in our partners. The physical understanding that attention is tactile is the beginning of a relational skill that helps us develop clearer communication.
This work asks for a shift in orientation that potentiates amazing dances and celebrate our desire to connect fearlessly with one another through our fullest selves. And by the by, we will also work with catching and throwing and other practices that engage our physical physics.
This 4 day workshop is for dancers beyond the beginning levels of Contact Improvisation experience, or for serious movers from other disciplines with advanced skills. Upper and lower body strength is important as well as ease with inversions.
Cost is £375 which includes 27 hours of teaching with Nita, exclusive access to the all the site has to offer, including a beautiful movement space that is open for jamming and labbing outside of the teaching time, wild swimming lake & nature walks, as well as your accommodation (dorms or camping) and meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner which is home cooked & vegetarian. Camping & Glamping options are also available for those who want a bit more privacy.
EARLY BIRD £345 by 30th of APRIL.
Deposit and installments options available.
Deposit £70
Possible to pay the difference in installments.

Join us for this 5h CI workshop at Goldsmiths, where we will explore elasticity and athleticity in CI through developing the movement qualities of a bear, from the laziest to the most demanding tone, in a functional, efficient way. Studying momentum, we will practice falling from different heights, by ourselves and with another, looking at the resolution patterns that we can develop out of that fall, rolling, suspending, reaching and softening. We will also explore pathways to fly and how to use our dynamic lines to invite lifts, catch rides and let the flight expand.
