During the workshops we will work with body relaxation and look for a compromise between control and lack of it. We will learn to softly enter into contact with our partner and the floor. How to roll and fall without getting hit. We will gain the freedom to fall so that we can then practice lifting and flying. We will examine where to get the strength to lift, how to do it so as not to lift and burden the spine.

In a series of exercises, we will also develop the skills of listening and communicating through the body, we will look at dance as a common conversation. We will explore sensitive touch and look for how to provide support and at the same time leave freedom and not limit. Listen to the possibilities – those that we will later realize and those that we will not.

We will also work with the trio and their potential.

▪️ About the host

I started my adventure with dance with contemporary dance and improvisation, then I discovered new opportunities in improvisation, partnering, and performance, learning from over 30 teachers from Poland and abroad. I have been teaching contact improvisation for five years, facilitating jams, and running workshops for adults and teenagers. I co-create the performance collective Szur-Sure and the partnering group Oddaj Ciżar
