IMPROVIZATION + CONTACT IMPROVIZATION
Prague 29.7.-5.8.2012
The first part of the class is about learning technique, we will start from basic positions of taking weight in the 3 levels, rolling, pushing and pulling, how we lift, how we give and how we take weight. Later we will answer on "hows" with "when". When we accept when we give, when we jump, when we stop. We will play with strange cases, when is the right time to stop, when I have to find a solution, and how do I solve problems during a contact improvisation duet. Finally comes "why". Why, is about clear intention and initiative through the movement to my partner.
