Open Bodies Moving – Contact Improvisation

In Contact Improvisation we benefit the most from a subtle, flexible and open body.

In order to organise yourself sensibly while in contact we need a stable centre, the ability to share weight, to listen to movement impulses and to stay present in the exciting moment. In this spontaneous, reflexive and three-dimensional dance we are able to enjoy the freedom and complexity of this beautiful art form through simple principles.

We will work on our „Open Bodies Moving Style“ with some of the principle ideas of Contact Improvisation that apply to every dancer at every level:

  • Strengthening and softening the centre
  • Centre to centre connection
  • Sharing your bodyweight consciously with your dance partner
  • Leading and following
  • Creating choices for yourself
  • Listening
  • Falling, rolling, gliding
  • Having fun

We will explore these principles further within improvisational scores in duets, trios and group formations and practice non-judgemental viewing (witnessing).
