IN - TACT  Contemporary

​

From physicality - through dance, movement and contact -  onto the philosophical exploration of human relations.

 

Through exercises, games and dynamics, we work through pathways that integrate technique, training, improvisation, contact and instantaneous composition, rooted in our mental, physical, and energetic receptivity and attention. Giving the possibility for personal and grupal reflection starting from the most intuitive place, from the body, to reflect on our inner truths, perceptions, actions and reactions in relation to various questions regarding humanity and human relations.

 

At the beginning of each session we work with simple exercises - chi, visualisation, floor work and partnering work -  that can serve as a base to experience other essential elements. There is a strong focus on the awareness of gravity so that the weight of gravity will be a constant in our state of consciousness, between movement and stillness. Investigating our relationship with gravity includes: perceiving patterns, weight transfer, fears of falling, resistances, joint tension, the capacity to surrender to gravity with integrity, and to recycle and redirect our energy from a receptive and perceptive relationship with the physical forces. 

 

This allows us to work with a sense of continuity and flow of the external and internal movements that pass through all the edges and crevices of our sensing body, generating a range of movement qualities, from the sustained to the explosive.

 

During the exploration we navigate between states of playfulness, intuition and risk, exploring the limits of our movement and creative potentials, with the intention of being fully present in time and space.  Observing while moving, reflecting while acting. Listening to the body, developing trust in it, experiencing it as our own master. “Moving by necessity with trust, risk and presence.”
