CLASS DESCRIPTION
Full Frontal
In contact Improvisation we are allowed to share the surface of our body completely with our dance partners, But how can we do that AND maintain boundaries that feel safe and comfortable? Lateralization, differentiating core from periphery and periphery from core, locating our proximal joints, creating a double layerd membrane with the inside facing inside and the outside facing out and maintaining our orientation in an accordion-ed W between feet, knees, pelvis/elbows and hands.
Knees hands
Feet pelvis/elbows
That is /\/ or
Knees hands

/ \/
feet pelvis/elbows
Where the feet and pelvis are grounded and the knees and hands are zigzagging AND the partner is floated inside the V.
These and other seemingly cryptic concepts will be explored to add safe intimacy to our dancing.
