Contact Improv and Partnerwork
This 2 hour workshop is taught by the company of People Watching Collective.
Within this workshop we will be focused on finding freedom within a structure.
We will share counterweight vocabulary, weight-transfer techniques to lift them, and tools for exploring contact points with your partner.
The idea is to create a common language in order to expand the possibilities within contact dance and improvisation.
THINGS TO NOTE:
Age minimum: 18
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE: Dance & acrobatic experience / formal training. Must be comfortable moving your body, rolling on the floor etc. We can adapt the level if you are a beginner in regards to weight bearing - partner movement, but participants must be comfortable with physicality and moving dynamically.

This workshop requires proximity & close contact between bodies.
The workshop takes place in a large ballroom with a marley dancefloor (no mats).
