Jo DyerI have practised Contact Improvisation for a number of years. It has inspired and challenged me and enriched the scope of my movement practice. My classes reflect the playfulness I enjoy in CI, but they are also rigorous and energetic, grounded in my training in release-based contemporary dance. I also like to allow for exploration in classes, giving scope for dancers to find their own solutions and discoveries.
As well as teaching for LCI, I undertook a residency at Newington Dance Space to research aspects of teaching Contact Improvisation, and have taught movement classes for children and CI for parents and children. http://josephinedyer.wordpress.com/ |
