Partnering

Partnering “hooking up” I would like to propose the possibility that dancing on your own would be like partnering yourself, and that the best way to find out how to partner yourself is to partner another body first. I mean, it is the same movement principles and physical laws at stake. Desire communicating through nerves to body parts. Can we step beyond the understanding of our bodies as the entities defining us as individuals? Can we bring that back to our own, individual dancing and objectify our body as a physical representation of something else? This question will be asked through the practice of sharing weight in improvisation and proposed set material guiding us to a swift way of interlacing those two approaches until we don´t know which one we are doing. I am convinced this class is very different from Contact Improvisation, but I am not so sure in what way that is. Bring possible answers.
