Saturday CI Workshop & Jam: Jam Skills
Saturday February 07th, 14:30-19:00, Acland Burghley School studios, Tufnell Park
This workshop is about getting more out of Jamming.
CI Jams are exciting spaces open to possibilities, but how do we access those possibilities?
We will work with strategies for getting in and out of dances, enjoying being lost and look at what it means to be available for the unexpected to happen.
We will unpack some jamming etiquette and how to avoid being a ‘jerk’ in a jam.
There will be structured improvisation exercises that will explore jam scenarios and plenty of dancing with prompts to help you expand your jamming persona.
Saturday CI Workshop & Jam: The Felt Proximity of Weight
With guest teacher Laura Doehler
Saturday February 14th, 14:30-19:00, Acland Burghley School studios, Tufnell Park
This workshop invites an exploration of weight-sharing as both a physical and relational practice.
By giving and receiving weight, we investigate proximity, intimacy and distance, deepening skills in falling, spatial expansion, listening and consent through embodied empathy.
