3-day CI Immersion
This workshop is part of a 3-day immersion in contact improvisation in Ghent from May 29 to 31.
You can register for the whole CI-immersion or for separate activities.
The mornings focus on movement research from different angles.
In the afternoons, two facilitators coteach. They exchange their movement language and approaches with each other and the group.
After the afternoon session, there is room for integration and experiment:
Sending and receiving Movement
In this workshop, we experience how movements pass through our bodies and what it means to send out or absorb movement. We experience movements that we generate ourselves, from bottom to top, from one body part to another, from the inside out, and we experience movements that start from the outside, impulses generated through the dance with a partner.
What are the pathways through our body? How can we open them? How can we remember movement patterns of our body? How do we expand our movement possibilities? How can we integrate multiple body parts into our movement party? And in all this: what if there is also another person involved? If we are in contact with another moving body, sharing weight while traveling into the studio? And what does our breathing have to do with all this?
Let's join the party! Let's try out, ask questions and consider answers through our dance itself.
Those who know Ady know that the sessions will overflow with fun and play, that the boundaries of the known and the comfortable will be explored. In his practice and sessions, Ady draws on the Ilan Lev Method.
