Falling looks like a consequence of flying, but how to fly being not able to fall?
A bird needs to drop itself first.
So let’s consider falling as the condition for flying and drop ourselves first!
In his first video from 1972, called “chute”, Steve Paxton examines the passage from up to down.
The small dance became a foundation in CI practise, while standing allowing the body to be at the edge of falling he says: “All the cells know the way down”.
Surrendering to gravity, our body knows how to fall, connective tissues remind bounciness to bones, sliding organs relativize up and down, inner streams and rivers flow vortexes, skin is hanging, forgotten reflexes show up… stop trying to know because it is already happening.
This workshop is an invitation to revisit the foundations of CI with the support of somatic practises. We will use exercises taken from the pioneers that I will combine with various body system consciousness.
We will do solo, duet and ensemble work, and take time to look at each other and reflect.
It will not be dangerous neither violent for the body rather generous and tender!
We will enhance our sensitivity to choose between falling together or separately, accompanying each other, providing safe support to ourself, “transforming vertical momentum into horizontal travel”.

Contact Playfight
Humanimal
Contact Playfight awakens movement consciousness by embracing our environment with all our skin.
It invites us to constant disorientation, attention towards body presence, being surprised by what’s coming next.
It makes friend with the animal body, it gathers memories of sensitivity and movement skills. As kids naturally play with aggression and power, soft and gentle provocation nurtures a safe and mindful space within and between us.
It is an embracing playground, including fully the raw aspects of being human, by embodying emotional intensity, we allow freedom of interaction, breaking taboos and having fun!
It liberates enthusiasm within excitement, it enlarges our perception of slow motion and highspeed, invites us to become soft, and wild, at the same time.

Flowing into Flying
from somatics into techniques
We have two legs on the ground, two arms in the air.
Our body bridges earth with sky.
During the day we walk, while dreaming we fly.
Contact Improvisation is a wonderful dance form, through physical contact we can experience such qualities that can enchant our movement experiences, like flying for example!
In this workshop, you will experience what flowing into flying means – giving first our support to the earth and effortlessly leave it – how does that feel, how your body can be light and what are the qualities needed inside the variety of ways to approach it.
We will:
– investigate an inner flow of nourishment.
– work with embryological consciousness for a soft and malleable inner axis.
– visit principles of material for the spine to curve into our partner axis.
– explore some CI principles like going with, amplifying, bouncing.
– invite our spine as our most intelligent limb.
– swing and play with the endless gifts of momentum.
– see, greet each others and have fun!
