In touch: contact improvisation skills

In touch: contact improvisation skills II a process of letting go and arriving at the same time „Being "in touch" is a state of mind and a state of body. A pseudonym for being grounded, aware, connected, and awake, "in touch" is both the core and the ideal of our work. It is a paradox because it is both a process of letting go and arriving at the same time. Both an internal and an external practice, it calls forth the fundamentals of physical grace and a willingness to change and be changed. Our goal is to be so "in touch" that we can fully fly, both physically and creatively. Our practice will take us from grounded flight to and through aerial soaring. We will look into the nature of emerging moments and find 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.“
