25 October – 1 November
Contact Improvisation Intensive Workshop
"Dialects of Momentum: Improvising Contact"
with
RAY CHUNG

Orvieto
25 October-1 November
Dialects of Momentum: Improvising Contact
Using Contact Improvisation as a foundation, we will create ways to improvise dancing in duo, trio, and ensemble.
A detailed survey of CI essentials, with a focus on efficient, effortless use of technical skills, will develop a facility for, and availability to, changing physical states and levels of touch and weight.
We will work with strategies for improvising improvising or, expanding our range of choices—how we improvise the way we improvise, as well as ways of embodying our imagination in movement.
Come prepared for focused playfulness within committed practice.
