Fighting Gravity

GET READY TO FLY!

This workshop will focus on preparing our bodies to connect, take risks and enjoy the process of expanding our awareness while moving with another person. Starting from the ground up by exploring our bodies relationship to the floor, we will learn how to use/ share weight and search our limits to be able to open up our senses and be ready to work in pairs, trios or groups.

We will explore how it feels to work and move with other bodies in space, ways to present our movement and to support each other through partnering work. We will play with counterbalance, effort , actions and reactions. We will create a movement vocabulary, look for dynamics and fluidity, use our experiences and the new tools we learned to experiment with different qualities of movement, surfaces, directions and speed.
We will research how to make our spine adaptable, our joints available and our muscles responsive and under our control to find flow in new tricks.

Main goal of this workshop is to create a playful, explosive and yet safe environment where movers can gain confidence in exploring with other partners, broaden their acrobatic skills, let loose of inhibitions and challenge both body and brain in order to grow as movers and humans!
Get ready to change gear and set course for a take off!

Note: The workshop welcomes dancers, acrobats, circus artists and participants from different disciplines and backgrounds. It is open to all movement enthusiasts that wish to expand their “body knowledge” and explore Samuel Minguillon’s movement language.
