Contact Improv Course - 8-week- Beginners +

This course is for anyone curious about Contact Improvisation. It is open to both beginner dancers and those who have a bit more experience and want to revisit the fundamentals and strengthen their CI skills.
Over 8 weeks you will learn to share weight and communicate through dance with the group or in partners. By the end of the course you should have the tools to join a Contact Improvisation jam and move confidently with other dancers.
Each week, we will co-create a playful and safe space for experimentation and exploration. Every class will start with games and tasks to awaken our awareness of inner and outer space. Followed by integrating basic skills of Contact Improvisation in a simple and guided way. Practicing falling, rolling, floating, lifting and supporting, using gravity to move effortlessly.
We will approach other themes such as touch and no touch, following and leading, support, structures and lifts (low table and high table), centre and extremities, shared weight and shared balance, upside down, head to tail connection, dynamics, and momentum.
Please wear comfortable clothes.
NB: the class on November 19th will take place at Chisenhale Dance Space (no wheelchair access)
