SUMMARY:Roots of Contact Improvisation - with available collective
DESCRIPTION:💫Description: \nRoots of contact improvisation is a dance course for those who want to practice the basics this dance form\, enrich their physical skills and learn the context of the practice. \nWe will provide technical exercises from ground to standing level\, training ways of falling and rising to flying… We’ll combine somatic as well as acrobatic approaches. Also\, we will study the context of the practice (offering readings\, videos and other documentation). \n“Contact Improvisation is an evolving system of movement initiated in 1972 by American choreographer Steve Paxton. The improvised dance form is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion—gravity\, momentum\, inertia. The body\, in order to open to these sensations\, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Practice includes rolling\, falling\, being upside down\, following a physical point of contact\, supporting and giving weight to a partner.” – contactquarterly.com \n– Who is it for?: everyone interested.\nThe course is for a closed group of maximum 14 participants. \n– Language: English  \n– Facilitators: Eva Mora\, Tomáš Wortner & available collective (Janka Hríbiková\, Katarzyna Elperyn\, Aneta Bočková) \n– What to bring:\nRecommended to bring some water\, comfortable clothes and a notebook (something where to write your notes).
