O akci

C.I. WORKSHOP – Roots of Contact Improvisation s Available Collective Workshop je určen všem zájemcům o pohyb, kontaktní improvizaci, tanec, improvizaci nebo tvorbu performancí – bez ohledu na předchozí zkušenosti. Nabízíme prostor pro praxi, který kombinuje somatické a akrobatické přístupy. Zaměříme se na kontext této techniky a poskytneme technická cvičení od práce na zemi až po stání, trénink pádů i vzletů. Kontaktní improvizace je dynamický pohybový systém založený na komunikaci dvou těl v kontaktu a jejich vztahu k fyzikálním zákonům, jako je gravitace nebo setrvačnost. Praxe zahrnuje válení, pády, pohyb vzhůru nohama, podporu a předávání váhy partnerovi. Workshop povede Eva Mora a Tomáš Wortner v angličtině.

"Contact Improvisation is an evolving system of movement initiated in 1972 by American choreographer Steve Paxton. The improvised dance form is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion—gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to open to these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Practice includes rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner." - contactquarterly.com

⭐About Available Collective:

Available collective is an international team of creators working in the field of physical theatre, dance and music. We are interested in performance as a way of immediate communication and interaction: on stage and in relationship with the audience. Our first project was Performance Dance Jam in 2021, a work on the border between dance and physical theater that arises as an improvised dialogue between creators in interaction with the audience. Currently, we conduct workshops and courses in Prague, Wroclaw, London, Sofia and other places.
