Opening Up and Letting Go - A Contact Improv Workshop with Joerg Hassmann

This event has passed Get tickets

Event description

In this Workshop I’d like to connect to our breath and it’s principle of expanding and softening, letting go and opening up. I am interested in our rip basket, its volume and sturdiness with some flexibility in it. And our arms inspired by the meridians and how they connect to different energetically resources of our somatic selves.

Contact Improvisation is our shared language. We’ll explore familiar CI situation on the floor, in standing level and in between with the mentioned nourishing somatic input. There is space for technical nerdyness, time for getting the heart on board and whenever possible we allow the dance to emerge and take over.

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 taught over 12 years in Training Programmes in Berlin and throughout Europe.

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

For the past two years 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/
