Synchronicity is the moment when time and space meet as one phenomenon and seemingly unrelated events converge in the magic of new meaning and possibility. This happens when dancers become entangled – the unanticipated appears within dancing moments allowing for new levels of experience and daring creative action. Physical convergences happen as minds meet. Through touch they entangle. Entanglement is the result of physical mental practices of intentional awareness and attentional skills. This work supports physical meetings across diverse moving moments enhancing difference while inviting heightened states of presence.
Bringing Contact Improvisational sensory and physical techniques into ensemble dance improvisation offers dancers new creative and performance skills while enhancing their choreographic tools. As ensembles, we will work across forms (Contact Improvisation and Dance Improvisation) for a spectrum of physical and creative possibilities. We will develop enhanced states of presence and realise the profound importance of physical attention as a tactile phenomenon. As choreographers, we will study the values present in how we develop relations.
