Thanks!* *https://www.facebook.com/events/1430895957127809/?context=create&ref_dashboard_filter=calendar * *-michael hurd* *Ease and Expression in Contact Improvisation* An All Levels Workshop It is likely that we all have experienced moments dancing and in life when we feel powerful, free and confident?when we can adeptly navigate whatever is put in front of us with grace and joy. What creates this quality of delight and presence that makes us feel 100% ALIVE? In this workshop we will focus on 3 components that support dancing that is easeful, expressive, engaging and deeply satisfying. 1) We will explore ways to release tension and relax the body/mind to help create a deeper sense of listening, safety, and contentment while strengthening our ability to let go. Practices may include bodywork, meditation, the small dance and focus on the breath. 2) We will embody the physical principles of CI to create more clarity, efficiency and ease in how our bodies move together in three-dimensional space. Specifically, we will deepen our awareness of subtlety as we explore CI principles such as the point of contact, assessing and modulating tone, organizing our bodies efficiently, giving and receiving weight with ease and moving consistently in an off-balance way. 3) We will grow in fluidity with CI?s poetic, imagistic and emotional realms by using tools such as imagery, music and authentic movement. *Alicia Grayson* has been passionately involved with dancing, teaching and performing CI for the past 25 years. She has taught contact improvisation as an adjunct faculty at George Washington University, University of Denver, Naropa University and Shenandoah University. She teaches CI, yoga and pilates classes in Boulder, CO and regularly travels to Europe and around the U.S. to teach. Her long time practices of authentic movement, yoga and meditation are important influences on her dancing and teaching. She is also a graduate of the Hakomi Method of Experiential Psychotherapy and Bodymind Somanautics, an advanced training in somatic attachment, group process and anatomy re-patterning. As a registered psychotherapist she works with clients in somatic psychotherapy and movement education. She continues to delight in exploring and discovering new depths in contact improvisation and is particularly interested in the intersection of physics and expression and the mind/body relationship. http://tumblebones.com Photo credits - sitting photo Serge Gubelman dancing photo - Jun Akiyama -- To be removed from this list, just reply with "unsubscribe" in the subject line, and a kind word or two in the email.
