In this course we will explore the gentle side of Contact Improvisation; an interactive movement practise which uses the fundamentals of sharing weight, finding balance and attunement. Aiming to develop sensitivity to our own and others movements and how they can relate harmoniously to each other.

Through guided movement practises we dive into the wonderful world of body work, creating space to move mindfully, sensing and articulating our somatic boundaries. Blending Contact Improvisation, human anatomy, the work of Irmgard Bartenieff, massage and consent work these meetings will be a delicious mix that will calm the body, warm the heart and make you feel like you gifted yourself a spa day.

Content & Structure: Each meeting will explore a different part of our anatomy such as the scapula, limbs, spine, cranium or pelvis. We will explore these parts through solo movement, followed by partnerwork (such as guiding each other in movement, massage or locating muscles or bones). We then carry our movement research into a dialogue of dance and movement, ending in playful connection.

For whom? Dancers, Movers, anatomy nerds, people who want to learn more about relating to themselves or others, lovers of everything somatic, people who work too hard, cuddlers and Contact improvisation enthusiasts
