Discovering Your Own Dance- researching movement,...

In this workshop we will explore how a deeper understanding of the somatic and technical foundations of Contact Improvisation can support a more embodied, confident and personal way of moving.
We will explore what happens when we begin to let go of assumptions and convictions about how we should move. Technique can be something different from prescribing the ‘right’ solutions - it can be a way of researching our own movement: exploring weight, gravity, momentum, touch, balance, listening and physical connection, and paying attention to how these principles are experienced in our own bodies. Through this research, we can discover why technique is useful and how it can open up mobility and potential. It becomes a foundation to lean on — something that gives us clarity, freedom and choice.
The creative side of dancing will be an important part of the work: allowing ourselves to be responsive is the foundation, out of which we move together — sharing weight, letting our bodies adapt to the situation, following impulses, taking initiative, shaping the dance as well as letting ourselves be moved by it.
Through solo and duet explorations, we will move between technical research and development, somatic awareness and creative investigation. We will ask:
·        Which dance wants to be danced?
·        What are we choosing?
·        What happens when we trust that choice?
This is an exploration of ownership: recognizing our own agency within the dance and developing the confidence to let the dance become truly personal. The workshop is an invitation to connect movement research and the creative: to use technique as a resource, somatic awareness as a way of listening, and creative depth as a way of discovering our own dance in Contact Improvisation.
Come, explore and discover what becomes possible when we trust our choices and allow our movement to emerge from our inner landscape — into presence, agency and a more personal relationship with our dancing.
