Saturday September 20th: Dynamic Anatomy of the Spine in Contact Improvisation: a practical workshop informed by the Axis Syllabus
2:30-7:00pm
This workshop will be taught by Guest Teacher Zoë Solomons.
In this workshop we will investigate how the specific three dimensional motion of our spines can be combined to radically improve:
Ease of movement -using spiral mechanics
Grace and flow- mastering efficient use of momentum
Fun and expressive potential -more precise dancing means more freedom of choice
Efficient, dynamic lifting capacity- understand exactly how to work with your partners body weight and direct your own
Increased strength and flexibility- align joints effectively for maximum stability and mobility
The movements of the spine are complex, understanding them with our bodies gives us an epic level-up of our dancing, both with and without partners.
The content of this workshop aims to challenge, inform and support all dancers, from those newer to CI to advanced practitioners of the form.
