What is Contact Improvisation?
40 years ago an American choreographer Steve Paxton was asked himself what would happen I let myself hit the ground – without control and expectations? What would happen if with the same attitude I fall over another person? If we move together, constantly falling over each other with a common point of contact, with a common center of gravity?
While searching for answers to these questions, Paxton gathered a group of his students for two weeks in on room for a big experiment. They broke all notions of dance, martial arts, acrobatics and social interaction – and created something unique. Thus originated the contact improvisation, or CPI, which is already danced worldwide. CPI is defined as a spontaneous dance with one or more partners, performance technique, dance therapy or meditation, a method of personal development, study of human touch, and for some it is a kind of spiritual practice.
About the workshop:
The seminar will try contact exercises that teach you to trust. It’s about credibility, gravity and momentum to the whole space, ie to everything that happens. For your personal credibility, for the wisdom of your body. And, finally, to trust your partner, for the art to “hear” him and to create genuine dialogue with him to allow gravity to connect you to be able to work together.
We’ll play with gravity as children. We will fall, with the objective to fly. We will remember that the source of improvisation, spontaneity and playfulness is always in us. Be prepared for total awakening of the body and the emotions, for true communication with others. We will move from quiet meditative arrival to very intensive movement.
Bring comfortable clothes. We will dance in socks or barefoot.
