| 1. CLASS ON TATAMI MAT: “The Flying Pelvis!” . Explore the lightness, the engagement and the multi-directional possibilities of your pelvis in contact improvisation. Let it rebound and play. Let it become intelligent. The tatami mat is a cushioned floor, a perfect tool for practicing acrobatic improvised forms. It allows us to take risks, to come to terms with rebound, and to augment suspension. Nov 26, Dojo Shoshin Aïkido Montréal, 5445 ave de Gaspé, suite 208, Laurier metro. (dancers Catherine Lessard and Neige Christenson) |

With eyes closed, we invite sensations and images to manifest into movement, with sincerity, without cheating. A witness observes with attention his own internal experience, allowing a mover to safely descend into inner realm, never judging. With rigour, dept and softness, the subconscious reveals itself, the hidden impulses tell their unique story. . Dec 3, Studio Fleur d’Asphalte, 6847 St-Hubert, Beaubien or Jean-Talon metro.
