EMBRACED. Workshop of Contact Improvisation for WOMEN – Agata Romankiewicz
Beautiful dancing souls, strong and sensitive at the same time ♥️
I invite you to a contact improvisation workshop – this time dedicated to women – both those who have never experienced KI techniques and those who are already initiated into the subject.
During the workshop, in a safe space, using contact improvisation techniques, we will learn how to maintain our comfort during KI practices, how to maintain and skillfully express our boundaries, and how to be sensitive to the boundaries of others.
We will explore both – the soft side of KI, based on somatic work that regulates our nervous system, using bodywork techniques, BMC, the Axis Syllabus, and the Feldencrais Method
As well as the more technical side of KI, which will help us develop the skills of receiving and giving weight, effortlessly moving through space, balancing support, sharing body weight, and developing fluidity of movement.
Level is open- we will be focusing not only on technical aspects but also on qualities of CI practice, giving the space for exploring and learning from each others.
I see Contact improvisation as a dialog we share – practice that develop the skills of deep listening equally our needs, limits as well as needs and limits of our dancing partners.

HOW TO PREPARE?
Take some comfortable clothes that will not limit your moves- t-shirt with long sleeves and trousers covering the calves are recommended (so as not to tear the skin while rolling) We will practice barefoot or with socks. If possible – don’t eat at least 1h before practice so you can really enjoy flexibility of your body;)
