Through dance, improvisation, contact improvisation, movement enhancement, strengthening, and increasing the range of movement, we will meet our limits and hone our movement instincts.
All of these practices will allow sensory improvement – developing the ability to sense ourselves and our environment – what is alive inside me at the moment, the dynamics of the space we are in, and the ability to feel the partnership in the dance.
I am with myself, and I am with the other – what happens in that meeting? In that contact, what awakens my awareness of myself, of the manner in which I perceive myself in my body and in my thoughts, my limits and my dynamics within relationships, what are the roles that I choose to take on, and what are the characters that I agree to play and release.
