CI Workshop: SPIRALS AND SPHERES w/Katja Mustonen (Bratislava)

Contact improvisation workshop with KATJA MUSTONEN (FIN)

SPIRALS AND SPHERES

Spirals and spheres

This contact improvisation workshop dives into the nature of spirals and spheres that surround us and are within us. We study spirals as internal and external pathways into our solo and contact dancing.

Spirals are curved patterns and circular shapes that help us to soften our bodies and create more tangible connections while moving. Spirals and spheres are curving in their nature that can assist us in reading the directions for common pathways in weight share and flight. They can also function as a tool for finding more lightness and momentum for our dancing.

Through the palette of hands on practices, exercises and scores for dancing, we inspire and generate action for improvisations. We pay attention to the dynamics of listening and use simplicity as a ground from where complexity can sprout.
