Kontak Doğaçlama Atölyesi (2 günlük) @ Innsbruck

Kontak Doğaçlama Atölyesi: Akışkan Dengeler

Bu atölyede, danslarımızda içinden geçtiğimiz akışkan ve geçici denge anlarını keşfedeceğiz. Farklı yönlere düşme, yerden destek alarak yükselme ve dengede değilken hem kendimizin hem de partnerimizin yeryüzüyle bağlantısını hissetme pratiği yapacağız. Denge anlarının potansiyelini hissetmeye ve farklı olasılıkların ortaya çıkması için alan açmaya çalışacağız. İçinde kalmamızın sıkıntılı olabileceği durumlarda bile, yerleşmeyi ve yerleştikçe nelerin değiştiğini deneyimleyeceğiz.

Contact Improvisation Workshop: Precarious Balances

In this workshop, we will explore the fluid and temporary balancing moments that we move through in our dances. We will practice falling into different directions, rising up with the support of the ground, and feeling both our own and our partners’ connection to the earth while we are off-balance. We will try to sense the potential of balancing moments and try to open space for different possibilities to emerge. Even in situations that may be troubling for us to stay in, we will experience inhabiting and what changes as we settle in.
