25.-27.11. 2022_ Contact and anatomy in movement
“The spine is our support pillar”
We invite all of you who are interested in contact improvisation and a healthy movement in a more complex way to have insight into the anatomy of our spine and its physical and energetic structure.

Intensive weekend workshop of contact improvisation for dancers, movers and as well as for people without previous experience.

The spine is the basic support column of our body, our pillar that connects us on  many levels. It supports not only the physical body but also the energetical “skeleton” and mental balance. It connects tree basic movement and energy centers (tree dantians) and the vital energy flows through it. Within the spinet the web of nervous system passes through. It is also an important connection between the lower and the upper parts of the body… There is a lot that can be discovered and observed on the spine, but also danced and filled with consciousness and energy. There is a lot what we can do to help it.

During improvisation in contact, we will enjoy freedom of movement, softness and fluidity of the spine. Our goal will be to develop authentic movement expression, spontaneity and naturalness of movement, which is encoded in each of us. During improvisation, various situations arise that cannot be predicted, so we learn to react physically intuitively.

Schedule
Friday 5-8 pm / Saturday 10 am – 1 pm and 2,30- 5 pm / Sunday 10 am – 1 pm and 2,30 – 4,30 pm

3.-5.2. 2023_Contact and group work
“Individuality and group consciousness”

We invite everyone who is interested in contact improvisation, authentic movement expression, spontaneity and naturalness of movement to an intensive weekend workshop.

Intensive weekend workshop of contact improvisation intended for dancers, movers as well for people without previous experience.

I have been working on the topic of group work for many years, and in recent years I have been developing and verifying it in theater work. During this intensive workshop, we will deepen and explore the boundaries between our individual selves and our collective selves. We will develop the inner depth and attentione, to the concept and philosophy of thinking about the human body in creative movement with the perception of its complementarity. Likewise, to develop our group consciousness of which individuality is an integral part. Some group exercises will focus on developing the sensitivity of the group consciousness, others will focus on creativity and composition with time and space.

During contact improvisation we will enjoy its freedom and its softness and also the fluidity of the body. We will use the spine and the two main centers of gravity of the body to strengthen the support of our body but also of our partner. We will acquire the ability how to give and receive the body weight and how to create and receive impulses, etc.

During improvisation, various situations arise that cannot be predicted, so we learn to react physically intuitively. Our goal will be to develop authentic movement expression, spontaneity and naturalness of movement, which is encoded in each of us.
