Partnering
Physics of empathy
„This partnering workshop gives special attention to flying and fluid acrobatics. Flying high and flying low. Internal flying, flying with your imagination. Starting where you are as flying is emotional, as flying is as much perception as action. We will use group support to make our work safe and fun. We will help everyone through new movement patterns.
Jumping is flying because jumping is a muscular action, flying an experience of the nervous system, an attitude. We will work on both. We will learn a couple of glamorous lifts.
My style of contact improvisation is athletic emphasizing the freedom of movement, safety, precision, pleasure and technique.“
