Scores Composition and The poetics of Presence can be booked as one day workshop * 1st of Nov 2024 Friday * 01:00 pm – 03:15 pm class * 03:15 pm – 04:45 pm break * 04:45 pm – 07:45 pm class Scores, composition and the poetics of presence A playful and focused approach to scores. Includes: movement sourcing, tuning scores, ensemble states, authentic movement, instant composition and improvisation. For those interested in performing and those interested in not performing (for example: discovering our selves as improvisors, connecting with others through movement, deepening our movement practice) We start with connecting to our bodies and then take it into group explorations. Getting lost. Composition as mediation. The material will range from compositional practice to exploring the intangibles (curiosity, vulnerability, commitment, presence). We will work with the spirit of exploration—not jumping to judgement /evaluation— and will learn as much by watching each other as by being watched. While the aim is to practice composition and explore the intangibles we will also undercut the hype of “performing” with the practice of witnessing. * Sourcing–connecting with your body, impulses + spontaneity * Ensemble states–tuning exercises, composition and non-composition, * Scores–the way in, * Aesthetics–how we watch. Cost: CHF 170.00 Cellular touch & flying 2. Nov Sat & 3. Nov Sun * 10:00 – 12:30 pm class * 12:30 – 14:00 pm break * 14:00 – 17:00 pm class * the break can alter depends on the group Contact improv / flying maneuvers / fluid acrobatics We will start with contact practices in which sensation and proprioception lead to refined skills. We will work with physics and somatics that support freedom of flight and expression. (Pleasure 㲗 Technique; Somatics → Acrobatics) Aerial aspects of contact improvisation: flying, catching, landing, fluid acrobatics, deft maneuvers. For the acrobatics. Everyone will work at their own level and will learn best by building group safety and trust. We will practice integrating the flying and acrobatics into the contact flow. That is: aerial interactions that increase the contact. We’ll do some of my favorite contact exercises and current curiosities.
