Somatic into Contact Improvisation - Intensive
"Open arms" exploring potential for connection in c
Highly perceptive and deeply communicative, our arms and hands will guide us into a three-dimensional, interactive, and dynamic contact-improvisation journey.Antoine will invite you to participate in a collaborative and immersive dance environment, enriched by somatic experiences, guided practices, and improvisational scores. Together, we will create a space where movement research and experiential anatomy merge, offering a deeper understanding of the body in motion. Together we will dive in the myofascial connections of the arms into the torso and abdomen, uncovering intricate coordinative patterns.
This workshop is open to dancers of all levels, including those new to contact improvisation.
It is an opportunity to engage with other humans in a spirit of curiosity and joy, to (re)discover and challenge ourselves, and to develop precision and confidence in the quality of weight sharing. And who knows? You might even find yourself momentarily taking a flight!
