Connecting to what supports us, finding ease, softness and

strength. How does this base make us feel lighter, physically and

mentally?

We'll work quite a bit on the floor, focussing on an alive and

powerful center, that enables a general flow and light, expanding

limbs.

And we'll explore the spine as a core movement organiser in

standing level for lifting, falling and flying.

How do these two rather different structures, the centre and the

spine, co-facilitate our movements, when soloing and when in touch

with another dancer in all the yummy contact situations?

From a somatic base, especially developmental movement patterns

and some body systems like the skeleton and the fascia, we'll

approach detailed CI technique as well as rather open frames to

experience what our bodies are capable of if we let go of control

and pushy habits.

Bio: Joerg Hassmann

Inspired by contact improvisation for more than 25 years as a way to understand and celebrate the moving body and human communication. Many kinds of sports, release techniques, somatic work, instant composition and creating dance and theater performances have informed his dance and his teaching. As the artistic director Joerg is involved in the CI festival 'contact-meets-contemporary'. Together with Daniel Werner he developed a systematic approach to Contact Technique that they teach in Training Programmes in Berlin and throughout Europe (www.DanceContact.de).

His writings under www.joerghassmann.com/blog/giv... deeper insights into his passion.

For the past year Joerg has been living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and is grateful to have options to share his passion and knowledge around the moving body - locally and in other parts of Australia. https://www.joerghassmann.com/
