Contact Improvisation

Contact Improvisation a process of letting go and of arriving at the same time Being "in touch" is a state of mind and a state of body. A synonym for being grounded, aware, connected, and awake, "in touch" is both the core and the ideal of this work. Paradoxically, it is a process of letting go and of arriving at the same time. Both an internal and an external practice, being „in touch“ calls forth the fundamentals of physical grace and a willingness to change and be changed. Our goal is to be so exquisitely tuned in that we can fully fly, both physically and creatively. Our practice will take us from a grounded flow to and through aerial soaring. We will look into the composition of emerging moments and find the resources for dances that reach deep into our sense of play. I base my technical focus on the principals underlying all actions. I consistently work physical development through improvisational tools giving the dancers the skills to be responsible for finding the principals of action present within their own physical choices and with the skills to apply them.
