Contact Improvisation is a social dance form that plays with the question how two or more bodies can move together through space without having agreed on a choreography before. We explore how to keep in touch and share weight as we improvise our way through all levels in space. We constantly negotiate the shared movement journey in a non-verbal dialogue. For me, especially interesting is how we can equally share the responsibility for staying in touch as well as in movement.<\/p>\r\n
In my courses we explore both somatic and technical aspects of Contact Improvisation, that I find interesting, useful and worthwhile to study. Body awareness, contact to oneself and solo movement are the points of departure before going into contact with others. I work with basic principles of non-verbal communication and the organization of body weight as well as with exemplary pathways. <\/p>\r\n
