Message-ID: <000001c37ece$f732a500$78e64a43@MAX> !ANNOUNCEMENT! What: A Contact Improvisation skills workshop, taught by experienced dance/contact improviser Cathy Paine. When: Sunday, October 5th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm Where: In Hampden, at the Experimental Movement Concepts Studio, 3618 Falls Road, Baltimore, MD 21211 Cost: $5 This workshop is open to everyone (no previous dance training required) and is offered in response to the overwhelming interest generated by the first meeting of the Exploratorium on Sunday, 9/14. Thanks to all of you who attended, as well as to the many who emailed their intention of attending the next exploratorium on 9/28! ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Contact Improvisation is a 30 year old form of movement improvisation first developed by American contemporary dancers Steve Paxton and Nancy Stark Smith, and is currently practiced, taught and performed throughout the world. Contact Improvisation is primarily a duet form of movement improvisation, based on shared physical contact, and can be introspective, fluid, spectacular, awkward, personal, hilarious, and/or profoundly moving (in every way!) In this workshop we will be learning and exploring some specific skills of weight sharing, skeletal support, balance and counter-balance, rolling, falling and flying. (Yes, flying!) A greater proficiency will open the door to physical safety and greater risk-taking. Come with your openness, sensitivity, love of moving and sense of humor - we will be moving into the unknown!
