The Tools offered cultivate different modes of attention within the perceptual / sensorial / visual / kinesthetic mindbody to be shared in a compositional space. The co-creation in the present time takes place and reveals a diversity of possible and potential relationships. It allows a study of the senses and their role in the organization of the bodies in movement, making us aware of how our own dance, the group and the environment are affected, informed and transformed according to the choices we make. Creating bridges and opening doors as pathways to access and to make available our bodies and its senses, we will nourish our dances. *CONTENT* *CI* We will plunge into it’s principles: the reflexive body, spherical space, qualities of touch, diversifying the mosaic of sensations, shared weight, modulation of tone, deep listening, availability, readyness, risk taking and response-ability. *IMPROVISATION* We will explore its specific relation to Time: unison, synchronicity, delay, etc. We will attend to its specific relation to Space: environment, architecture, materiality, immateriality… We will strengthen our solo dance. We will develop our capacity to collaborate and co-create within a group. *COMPOSITION* We will play with sensing/feeling/observing the organization of our senses, of the inner and outer space, as well as the emerging and evolving interrelationships that will reveal. We will expand our ability of seeing with the eyes, seeing with the body and other ways of seeing. We will compose/take position with our bodies, the material and the physical space. With and through these three lenses we will dance, watch, report, write and draw considering all these activities as ways to share our imaginaries, experiences and research. We will be working with a fixed group and we will keep few spots available in each module for those that could join for 1 or 2 modules only, depending on the committed group size. This training requires some experience in CI and Improvisation combined with the desire to enter into compositional work.
