The Thursday CI classes are organized in modules of 8 classes. Each module develops and explores one or more topics according to the level of experience of the participants, there will be also space to express personal wishes and intentions if anybody is interested to explore a specific theme.
The module will start if there are at least 7 participants, and then once is working it will be also possible to participate to single classes in a drop-in form.
These classes are aimed to both beginners and expert dancers.
In martial arts they use to say: "Energy flows where your attention goes”, to be able to embody the principles of the form is suggested a constant participation to the classes and to the jams.
Studying CI technique allows to grasp many fundamentals that we cannot get otherwise just participating to the jams. The technical principles are useful to widen our perspective and to get functional patterns useful to survive during the improvisation.
I perceive that this aspect is many times underestimated many people that going just to the jams. Even if the jams are open to everybody despite the level of experience this doesn’t mean that study technique is not important.

What is Contact Improvisation
Contact Improvisation is an improvised dance form 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. Contact improvisations are spontaneous physical dialogues that range from stillness to highly energetic exchanges. Alertness is developed in order to work in an energetic state of physical disorientation, trusting in one’s basic survival instincts. It is a free play with balance, self-correcting the wrong moves and reinforcing the right ones, bringing forth a physical/emotional truth about a shared moment of movement that leaves the participants informed, centered, and enlivened.
