Contact Improvisation

Kurs with Jorge De Hoyos

Contact Improvisation is a real time collaborative dance expression based on physical contact and weight exchange. This class is designed to be accessible and exciting for beginner as well as seasoned dancers. The focus is set on improvisation as a creative process and dialogue based on body language. The aim of the practice is to bring the dancer to a greater awareness of their own embodied artistic personality and exercise it through instant composition and partnership. we’ll raise somatic consciousness and explore movement vocabulary and build it up to an open space of spontaneous collective dance creation. It is about being in the moment, surrendering to the intelligence of the body, connections, playfulness, through which we experience the fleeting and poetic magic of improvisation.
