Description of Workshop |
This workshop we’ll spend time pushing into exercises that create kinetic connections across the limbs. We already have a basic functional understanding of our contralateral and homo-lateral human condition: we walk, we pick things up off the floor, we right ourselves when we trip. What makes Contact Dancing special is the disorientation of considering your feet to be your hands, your legs to become your arms, and your back to become an extension of your eyes. To get to this level of fully integrated physical desire and curiosity, we will work with major concepts to help us get lost together so that we become our partners new kinesphere
We will spread the surface area of our feet and hands to demystify the term “being grounded.” We will scramble our brains with mind-reading exercises. We will work on destroying the hierarchy of the body so that all surfaces can make us each into trustworthy under-dancers and limitless flyers.
Please come to Buffalo to think too much then give up and trust your visceral nature, get physically stronger in your core and limbs, and to dance out the toxins of your previous self.
