En Route – moving the relation

During this Contact & Improvisation class we move from spine to periphery, dive from touching the skin through layers of systems until the bone. We let our breath guide us between the expansions as we spread wide open and let go to empty. We whirl from standing to floor to fall from floor back to standing. Practice variable of states from being – doing, sensing – acting, still – motion, rest – awake.

We engage bodies availability to encouter its environment with soft strenght, responsive and playfull, resistant and receiving. We balance weight by giving and sharing, pouring gradually over and yielding into support again, every touch as another entry into anew journey.

We assamble pathways from solo to duet, from duets to different size of collaborations with others. We’ll play with the ability to alter spaces, and suspend time. We dip into waves of momentum whilst we emphasize the notions of space-time-dynamics as a core for more light, aware and lively dancing.
