Why don’t you try C I (contact improvisation), an improvisational dance that anyone can do?
What is C I?
Touch, being touched, breathing, heartbeat, the five senses, gravity, temperature, fluctuation, etc.
It is an improvisational dance that evokes the sensations in the body that are always there but often forgotten or closed off, and by touching, sharing weight and movement with others, communicating, and wondering what it feels like. It is a dance of improvisation.
It is an opportunity to experience the present moment, which cannot be experienced alone, and to savor the unknown moment.
When that nature meets other people’s nature in the wonderful nature of Shinanokuni, what kind of dance is born? What kind of moment can we encounter?
[Workshop]
Indoor: Anyone, adults and children, are welcome to dance as if playing together. Let’s dance with a primal sensation, walking and rolling together, moving with shared weight, sharing a pleasant touch and space.
Outdoors: Dance together in nature, touching trees, soil, water, and breathing comfortably with pleasant contact, in pairs, one with eyes closed, the other gently guiding, walking, feeling the forest, the smell of plants and trees, wind and light, in various places.
What primitive sensations will you encounter?
