Event description

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance form that unfolds from the shared weight and touch between dancers in a play with gravity, momentum and physical communication.

This workshop is an intro to CI basics including:

  • The rolling point of contact
  • Giving and receiving weight
  • Dynamic alignment and balance
  • Falling and momentum
  • Body surfing

The practise of Contact Improv skills cultivates a high degree of physical awareness and relaxation and supports safe and exhilarating dancing. It is equally accessible to trained and untrained movers.

I look forward to supporting ongoing CI classes, a local CI jam, and hosting guest teachers from the vibrant Melbourne CI community as our Albury dance improv community grows.

Things to know

CI involves a lot of partner work and floor work. Wear comfy clothing without studs, zips, tassels etc, that could create discomfort or entanglement when rolling on floor and with others. Long sleeve t-shirts, leggings, tracksuit pants and layers are good.  

Bring a water bottle, an open mind and a readiness to nudge your comfort zone.
