About Contact Improvisation

Contact improvisation is an improvised dance mainly based on the contact of two or more people. The dance can be very acrobatic as well as more like a dance or flow like. As most dances, it's based on nonverbal communication, with or without music. The main idea is to let the body decide what to do, follow your impulse and with the help of different techniques or tools create a dance in the present.

The workshop

During these days we will work a lot with being present. Grounding exercise will be an important part in every moment.  We will also work with different techniques helpful to the dance. These techniques may be used as a framework for the dance. We will work a lot with balance exercises based on sharing weight. Explore ways to use our body and our weight point. There will also be a change to try simple acrobatics in couples. I will also introduce some rules concerning the dance.

But most of all we will have fun, while exploring ways of our body.

 Every one is welcome, regardless of previous experience.
