Plattform för Improvisation och Somatik
About this event
Warmly welcome to a weekly drop-in class in Contact Improvisation (CI) Technique training that will happen all year around with rotating teachers!
When?
Every Monday 18-20.30
Where?
Alma Söderberg Studio
Bergsgatan 29
(ring the bell downstairs)
During 2.5 hours you will be guided through technical exercises and BodyMind (Somatic) practices in Contact Improvisation that will be taken into further explorations through jam-like moments. We will practice elements of CI such as how the use of breath, weight and skeletal alignment supports your movement; how to follow a point of contact; how to take, give weight and lift one another in a safe way; how to be comfortable being a state of not knowing and listen deeply to the subtle impulses of the now without anticipation, as well as philosophical and relational aspects of CI.
This is a class for both beginners and experienced. Before each new teacher takes on their block of four weeks we will post about their practice. Some teachers practice might be more directed towards beginners or experienced. However, in Contact Improvisation you will most likely be able to practice any exercise on your level of experience that day.
The classes are taught in English or Swedish depending on teacher and the needs of the students.

Teachers this fall are Aurora Westfeldt, Emelie Bardon, Lone Havemose och Tuva Hildebrand.

Contact Improvisation is a dance form developed in the 1970's in the US by Steve Paxton and fellow dancers. It has its base in the martial art Aikido, Zen meditation and post-modern dance and improvisation but has evolved since then until today into different forms. The core of contact improvisation is to investigate how to allow yourself to be moved by gravity, while listening to the contact point between you and the floor, wall or another body.
