Contact improvisation class: The source of the Force & Integrity
What is happening when you really make pause? Am I capable to make a pause and stay still? In my body, emotions and mind?
What is that force that keeps me moving?
What is that what moves us through the dance? Can I decide that?
Can I fully follow the “calling”, the guidance of the inner impulse, or my partner, or the music? What is resisting?
We will explore the tools that create conditions for integrity. We will seek to practice the state of being whole and undivided and approach the dance and the other from it.
