GRAVITATIONAL FORCES in CONTACT IMPROVISATION

‘August 24 / GREECE / JAM of ARTS

Dynamics, Restful Flow, Contact Improvisation, Improvisation, Image
During these classes, we will explore the fundamentals of the unique language of ILM movement, which offers a rich and refreshing "shot" for the functional and motor capabilities of the entire body. ILM invites the body to release and strengthen by focusing on effortlessness and efficiency in movement through the main dialogue with gravity and playful functional exploration. This practice refreshes, relaxes, while activating imagination, joy, physical creativity, and flow of energy. It thereby prepares the body and mind for greater potential, directionality, performance, and expression in movement.
During the " Gravitational Forces " workshop, we will focus on exploring solo as well as in contact, layers of physical structures, forces, tensions, internal and spatial connections as well as always “moving-living-flowing-changing” body and spatial relationships.
Integrating tactile sensations through touch and exploration of physical aspect of an image, we will unlock a treasure trove of novel movement forms, compositional possibilities, and profound physical dialogues.
As we will simultaneously weave a somatic practices into the fabric of our exploration, we will uncover the myriad ways in which the ILM facilitates diverse processes of movement, dance research, and techniques of improvisation.
