Classes

WHAT

Contact Improvisation             
 
with Irmela Stone
“How can we fall into a place of moving where seeming opposites such as weight & lightness, activity & rest, discipline & freedom are both present? When deeply connected into ones own body, the connection with other bodies follows naturally. To me this is Contact Improvisation. I am interested in tapping into that state of full bodied alertness which carries infinite possibilities and often a sense of joy.”

 CI with Rick and Simonetta
This course will start with a brush up of CI basics and quickly progress towards more intermediate skills. Classes will begin with a somatic focus to create calm physical
awareness in preparation for communication with a partner. We will use technique as an
instrument to playfully push our dancing into new territories. Open dancing at the end of
each session will encourage practice, enjoyment and sweat.
