Description
Ari Christopher from Tulsa Modern Movement will be leading this
2 hour workshop. Contact Improv practice is for any person with a
body who wants to enhance their somatic awareness through touch.
The practice is more like yoga than it is like dance in that you
will learn to listen to your body and learn from it's wisdom rather
than tell the body what to do. We are first respectful and reverent
to the body in it's capacity for healing ourselves and others.
Bring the body you have, injuries and all.
Contact Improv is a partner dance form based on the physical
principles of touch, momentum, shared weight, and most
quintessentially - following a shared point of contact. (Think
acro-yoga and dance Improvisation melted together.) The practice
offers endless opportunities for choices, listening, sharing and
generosity.
CI was founded in 1972 by Steve Paxton. Integrating his background
as a modern dancer and his studies in the martial art form Aikido,
Steve developed Contact Improv through explorations with his
students and colleagues at the time. It's a somatic practice that
develops community awareness and allows participants to push
against their own limitations without words or promises, judgment
or competition.
We have everything you need at the studio. All you have to do is show up!
