Contact Improvisation Winter Intensive

## CI Winter Intensive //

Somatic Skills into Contact Improvisation
The Winter Intensive invites you to dive – from the ground up and within a small group – into the wisdom of your body and into the world of Contact Improvisation as an art form.

During the mornings, you will explore how the body organizes itself in dance and how to generate flow and momentum through your own body weight. Through hands-on partner work and guided improvisation, we awaken the connective tissues and refine body awareness, sensing connections within the body. We dance short phrases on the floor and through all spatial levels, while nourishing your individual and free expression in dance. In the evenings, these felt and embodied insights are applied in dancing with shared weight.

Through practices drawn from somatic systems, experiential anatomy and biomechanics, impulses from Eastern traditions, release technique, and kinetic imagery, you are invited into a powerful embodied experience—one that strengthens and inspires you, and offers impulses and tools that reach far beyond the dance floor.
