This workshop is for everyone who moves or dances: beginners, experienced dancers in Contact Improvisation, and anyone who wants to move before the end of 2018!

About the workshop: Habitual responses - to a certain extent, develop from practices. How can we avoid habit, and still react spontaneously? What are the alternative ways of reacting to a situation when dancing in contact improvisation? We will investigate this together.

We’ll focus on the concept of ‘when bodies meet’ without perception, expectation, images nor judgements. We will explore a diversity of speeds, movement, and spontaneity yet remain in tune with ourselves and our dance partner.

Note: Please arrive on time - thank-you. The workshop is in the Upper Hall of the Jericho Community Centre. This is a drop-in workshop and reservations are not necessary.
