PROGRAM

- Introduction to Contact Improvisation: 

We will begin with a short introduction of imrpovisation and contact, exploring basic principles and techniques. Emphasizing the art of sharing weight, balance, listening, trust and connection.

- Exploring Boundaries & Consent: 

Through guided exercises, we’ll explore boundaries and consent in meaningful interactions. We’ll learn to recognize and respect our limits and our partner’s, fostering a responsive dance practice where listening and authentic expression is the heart of the practice. We explore expressing boundaries verbally and non-verbally, thus creating a mutual understanding in the dance.

We research the topic while dancing with different partners and in groups, where you can practice negotiating boundaries and consent in real-time. This collaborative environment encourages empowerment, cooperation, and the art of listening and expressing.

- Reflection and Discussion: 

We conclude exercises with a group discussion to reflect on your experiences, insights, and challenges. This open dialogue supports the integration of learning and fosters a community of shared growth.
