COMPOSING CONTACT IMPROVISATION

con Katja Mustonen y Monika Gallardo

26 de Octubre del 2013

(english version below)
Este taller esta enfocado en algunas ideas de movimiento que surgen de nuestro interés en la improvisación y de todas las danzas que durante los últimos años hemos compartido. Con un bakground común en diversas técnicas de danza contemporánea, observamos como esto a dado forma e influenciado a nuestro entendimiento y curiosidad dentro de la práctica del CI.
Durante estas clases combinaremos ejercicios físicos que prepararán el cuerpo para poder jugar más adelante. Temas tales como momentum, back space, escucha, leer y redirigir el cuerpo en el espacio, guiar y ser guiado – por nombrar algunos de los temas en los que nos enfocaremos en esta primera parte.
Después de esto, sugeriremos algunas restricciones como una forma de limitar el marco de elección para abrir camino a otras formas de movimiento. Nos gustaría despertar el cuerpo alerta, preparado para estar disponible con lo que esta pasando, desafiando y alterando el vocabulario físico al dar énfasis en diferentes conceptos, como por ejemplo: tener un solo dentro de un duo/trio, claras limitaciones físicas,… Jugando con herramientas de improvisación y elementos que nos ponen en una situación de alerta del espacio y el tiempo para dar vida a nuestras danzas en CI de una forma más performativa.

Precio 40€ (socios inspiral 30€)

This workshop is based on some movement ideas that stem from our interest in improvisation and from our shared dances during the past few years. Coming from various Contemporary dance practices, we’ve felt how this has shaped and influenced our understanding and curiosities within CI, too.
During these classes, we’ll combine some physical exercises that support and prepare the body for further play. Themes such as momentum, back space, reading & redirecting the body in space, guiding & following - to name few - will be some of our focuses to tune and warm up the body.
After this, we’ll suggest restrictions as a way to manipulate the frame of choice to open up for different movement pathways. We’d like to evoke movers readyness to become available with what is, challenge and alter the physical vocabulary by emphasizing different concepts, such as: having a solo within a contact duet/trio/many, clear physical limitation, …. We’ll play merging other improvisational tools and elements that ask for heightened awareness of space and time to spark our CI dances in a performative ways.
