Contact Improvisatie - Follow Through

About this event

FOLLOW THROUGH

Follow through is the doorway to let the dance go into a flow of movement, dance and connection.

This workshop builds on weight and support and turns to what happens next: letting movement continue. We ride the pathways and momentum, follow directions as they arise, and practise moving without forcing. We work solo, on the floor and standing, and in duets where shared momentum decides the direction. The quality of water as it flows in the landscape of bodies.

We stay present and responsive to what the dance offers. Following through means receiving, involving yourself to let it lead you somewhere.
