Announcing a weekend workshop with Brandon Gonzalez & Susan Coates, January 16–17, 2010…
Weaving the Dance: Contact Improvisation from the Personal to the Ensemble
Our perception of dance is threaded together from many sources including our emotional states, the stories we create, our physical condition, our motivations, and our physical environment. In this workshop we explore the impact of these sources on our own state of being and the group dynamic.
We’ll build from the foundations of Contact Improvisation with body mechanics that coordinate with the physics of gravity and the geometry of bones, the reading of subtle changes in weight and support, micro/macro spirals as a way of creating continuity and flow, and access pathways into the “third mind” where we find a sense of empathy, ease and effortlessness in the dance.
