Shifting into Lifting: Contact Improvisation in Tokyo, Japan
for the CI Tokyo Japan Community

 

March 18th, 2023

Saturday, 6pm-10pm

Nakanoku Higashinakano Kumin Katsudo Center

5 Chome-27-5 Higashinakano, Nakano City, Tokyo 164-0003, Japan

An exciting workshop focused on sharing and developing contact improvisation skills that will allow us to fly together. We will explore a variety of intriguing improvisational scores that focus on giving and getting support when moving with others. Then we will dive into some of Megan’s favorite ways of discovering lifts while improvising, finding seamless ways of flowing into and out of them, followed by connecting these ideas into dynamic contact improvisation scores. Sensing, shifting, supporting, seeing, and being seen.

Dynamic Places and Partners
as part of Finnish Hall's Easter Jam 2023

 

April 8th, 2023

Saturday, 4pm-6pm

Finnish Hall

1970 Chestnut St, Berkeley, CA 94702

We will start with the floor as our first partner, moving on to investigate the unique structural elements of the space. Opening the dance up to contact with another human, we’ll explore ways of sharing weight and learn some fun partnering lifts. Then the dance will become a creative trio: you, another dancer, and the architecture—sensing, shifting, supporting, seeing, and being seen.
