The workshop is split in 3 parts

In this workshop we will explore our relationship to boundaries in a contact improv setting.

Can you feel in your body when reaching a limit? Which reaction does your body have? Is there a change in your body posture?

We will not only look at our own experience but also observe how ready others feel for an interaction.

In a nonverbal space sensitivity like this is necessary in order to not overstep others boundaries.

In a playful way we’re exploring how to observe your own and others' boundaries and find solutions on how to communicate them in a nonverbal setting. The workshop will be a combination of self experiential and interactive exercises.

short break

Contact Jam: free, unguided CI jam with music. A space to move. You decide if you want to dance alone, in contact with others, or to just be in the space. This suits also as a space for you to explore the topic from the first part and its connection to CI.

short break

Sharing: Sharing space to talk about experiences regarding the topic during the jam or in past CI spaces. Can be a discussion, further elaboration of the topic or just an emotional sharing round. The space will be held by Lea.
