ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES AND SKILLS OF CI
Credit: Chris Randle
Contact Improvisation offers us a testing ground for the development of resilience and creativity while allowing what is new to transpire. During this series of classes we will focus on some specific facets of CI such as: sensation, space, time and the deepening of our relationships with all other dancers.
Perceptual skills involving the somatic-sensory systems will be scrutinized during our warm-ups and integrated into the research and development of physical skills including: moving sinuously while supporting the weight of another dancer (from1% to 100%), falling and landing safely at any level, sharpening our reflexes and refining our timing to coordinate with momentum, modulating the tone of one’s body to reduce physical tension and being omni-directionally responsive while dancing with a partner.
Release technique, hands-on work as well as numerous scores for dancing, warming down and discussions will be included.
