We Are Improv Dancers

Following on from the talk on Monday. The accompanying workshops focus on movement, connection and collective experience, allowing both public participants and practitioners to explore ideas around physical presence, distance, empathy and healing.

We Are Improv Dancers

workshop

"Dance dance dance. We meet like ocean waves, we share our rhythm, our gifts, we rise together, we crash together. We hum, we  spin, we breathe. And suddenly we are creators of a dance"

This is a call to come and explore how to create a non-choreographic, collective dance. Together we will explore the tools used in movement improvisation: the body's natural movement range and rhythms, solo and as a group. Through movement games, music, witnessing and automatic writing, we will open new creative pathways and translate them from a dancer's perspective. We may step outdoors to gather inspiration from our environment bringing those impressions back into the dance.

Along the way, we'll learn from our own movement, witness others, and discover what becomes possible when individual creativity meets collective imagination. The workshop will culminate in the creation of an improvised group piece, shared within a supportive, and non-performative environment.
