Presence is tactile. This workshop unpacks the performance skills of being present (presencing) while exploring the many levels of touch in order to take CI from duet to ensemble creative work. Based in the underlying principles of Contact Improv this workshop pushes the boundaries of our self-sensing. While learning to make a difference we will also be made to be different: touching while being touched. We will seek to develop and move with the physical intelligence that exists on the periphery of our knowing in order to amplify the volatility of our presence and engage more levels of responsivity. We will develop ecologically based time and space practices to find creative freedom and kinder, more elastic physical engagements. In this workshop we will learn about and practice the motion of attention, intention, enactive tactile reach, assembling and disassembling. This workshop teaches us to offer to the dance a self-sense that changes and a presence that is articulate and speaks as a world in motion.
