Solo Dance in the CI Duet

A workshop with ALICIA GRAYSON and EE BALCOS in Asheville, NC – Sunday September 13th 10:30-5:30

UNCC DanceFaculty Concert Series Spring 2015

UNCC DanceFaculty Concert Series Spring 2015

This workshop will explore ways to cultivate our solo while dancing in contact so that our dances are creative and deeply satisfying. The more we stay connected and engaged in our own solo the more choices we offer our partners and vis versa. This solo cultivation is done while simultaneously and deeply listening to ourselves and partner(s). 

 

To strengthen our ability to stay true to our own solo while connecting/collaborating and contrasting with others we will explore:
* attending to imagery, sensation, emotion and musicality
* moving in and out of physical contact
* playing with aspects of authentic movement and active witnessing
* investigating the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
