Contact Improvisation Session at Art & Movement Dance Studio

Sunday, Feb 24, 2013
11:00am -> 2:00pm

The Art & Movement Dance Studio is hosting a dance lesson on contact improvisation with Corinne Skaff and Clara Sfeir.

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.

The aim of the session is to make a contact improvisation jam. You will start with warm-up exercises to develop self awareness, towards the others and the space. You’ll also be practicing basic skills of contact and exploring some tools for improvisation like reacting to an impulse or to initiate one.

Participation fee: $20
