Contact Improvisatie - Flying & Landing on Any Level

About this event

FLYING & LANDING ON ANY LEVEL

Flying and landing can feel exciting in an inspiring way for some, and exciting in an intimidating way for others — or both at the same time. We will explore these skills in this workshop - including their lived experience - in a playful way within the Contact Improvisation partnerwork.

We approach flying and supporting weight as something that can happen on all levels of vertical space. This may take place low and close to the floor, or higher up, for example on a partner’s shoulder.

We will work with connection and momentum, focusing on principles that support both effortlessness and safety while moving through space. Join us if you are curious about these playful and dynamic elements of what Contact Improvisation has to offer.
