Soaring Off the Mountain

Eleven day intensive training in
Contact Improvisation
with
Martin Keogh


Martin Keogh and Andrea Keiz, Photo by Thomas Hantzschel 		Join good company for dancing and discovery on a warm dance floor in Arlequi, Spain. In this week-long intensive, with games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will settle into a base camp of mindfulness, and then set out to investigate the wilderness of disorientation.  We will enter the forest where there's no trail, jump into the dark, swim into what might be a cave, and build a tolerance for waiting in the unknown.  
Special emphasis on releasing the neck and pelvis, and surprising ourselves in flight and extended follow-through.

We will explore:
  • Moving from a base of sensation
    •   
  • Dancing with a shared central axis
    •   
  • Seeking ease in going off balance
    •   
  • Finding the spontaneous acrobatics of the form
    •   
  • Spending more time in nuance, disorientation, and extended follow-through
