Contact Improvisation – Feeling home in our bodies

Join Alon Ritter for a weekend workshop, delving into the theme of “Feeling Home in Our Bodies” within the realm of Contact Improvisation.

“What do you need in order to feel at home in your body?”

“How does home feel?”

As the concept of home takes on new significance in our individual lives and collective human experience, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the elements that contribute to feeling at home in our bodies. Whether moving independently, with others, or within a group setting, Alon will guide you through an exploration of the essentials needed to cultivate a sense of home within ourselves and in the dynamic landscape of human connection.

We will use the tools of Feldenkrais bodywork and the Polyvagal theory in order to explore how to regulate our nervous system, how to feel and find ease in our body, and how to feel safe with others.

We will explore the question of home in our dance, using authentic movement, solo explorations, playing games and journaling.

Then we’ll immerse ourselves in the world of Contact Improvisation, exploring a spectrum of engagements, from duos, trios and to a collective dance. Together, we will delve into the elements essential for feeling safe and connected with our dance partners in Contact Improvisation. Additionally, we will inquire into what is needed to cultivate a sense of safety, connection and playfulness during a Jam—a collective playground experience where each participant contributes to the shared feeling of home.

According to the group’s needs Alon will introduce techniques of Contact Improvisation, contemporary dance, mindfulness, therapy and much more.

Throughout the workshop, there will be dedicated time for sharing and labing insights that emerge during our explorations. On Saturday evening we will have a special JAM and SAUNA EVENING 🙂
