IMPROVISING CONTACT IMPROVISATION

Exploring the crossroads between dance and theatre. Using the potential of the human body to tell
stories through movement in a non-literal way. Contact improvisation is essentially a dance in which
we come in a physical and kinesthetic dialogue with others. A dialogue, a meeting, an encounter in
which it is essential to develop and sustain clarity of one’s own presence. A person that is present in
their body and mind can navigate more clearly through time and space and will be more ready and
adaptive to play with the ever-changing circumstances inside of an improvisation

Contact Improvisation will be the common ground to continue and deepen our skills to come into a
physical and kinesthetic dialogue with others. From there we will enter the realm of improvisation in
relation to performing. We will play with different scores for improvisation to challenge and sharpen
our compositional and spatial awareness. Articulation and playfulness are two keywords for this
workshop in which we will dance a lot for and with each other. Dances in which we can expect to be
in physical contact at any moment and at the same time keeping an awareness of ones own
direction in improvising.

This workshop will provide a playground for those who are interested in exploring territories in which
we use our creative potential in dances that are created in the here and now, the present moment of
an improvisation.
