Hi everybody,
This year the Thursday classes are going to be reorganised in modules focused on specific topics.
Each module develops and explores one or more themes related to the search for contact improvisation, starting from the proposals of the participants.
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.

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.
