In today’s session we begun by watching back our work from the previous weeks, from this I found it extremely useful in visualising how I moved during contact improvisation. The way in which I fluidly gave my weight to others and smoothly transitioned out of contact lifts positively surprised me. Often when performing I do […]

This week’s class was devised into another contact research lab. The question that my group explored was: ‘Is it possible to do lifts with the same intention and fluidity in trios that it is in duets?’ As a group we decided to explore this question because from our own experiences when taking part in contact […]

In today’s session we began by watching two contact improvisation videos, both videos consisted of a duet between a male and female partnership. The duets equally portrayed a fluid and flowing dance which never broke out of contact, the dancers moved with ease. Martin and Neige who performed a contact duet in the first video […]

In today’s session we particularly focused on giving and taking weight to enable more advance contact lifts. To begin, in partners one moved through the space whilst the other lightly traced their movement patterns by placing their hands on their different body parts. Through the light touches I could feel which of my body initiated […]
