The joy of improvisation and contact
Teacher: Linda
Level: open level
In these two classes we will explore some basic (and non basic..?) concepts of dance improvisation and contact improvisation to let us be emerged in the joy of dancing and improvising together.
We will tune into ourselves to be ready to tune into others using some somatic work.
We will find ways to explore the space as another inspiring dance partner.
We will explore weight and sharing weight in different amounts and getting more precise in our choices.
We will explore rolling point, sliding point and skipping point and the fun of consciously playing with them.
We will tune into the rhythm, speed and musicality of our dance and the dance of others.
