Castlemaine CI Lab – Foundations & Practice
About
Mondays: 6.30 - 8.00pmSingle Session: $15
4 Session Pass: $50
These CI Labs are an invitation to listen, move, and discover the fundamental skills of Contact Improvisation in a supportive, playful environment. These sessions offer a chance to develop confidence with, weight-sharing, balance, falling, and improvisation while sharing a point of contact with others in movement.
We will also have some Open Research Sessions—where anyone can bring ideas, questions, movement puzzles, or skills they'd like to investigate together. It's an opportunity to learn from each other and deepen our shared practice.
No previous experience is needed. Everyone is welcome. Dance with the body you have.
Topics we will explore together:
• Rolling point of contact
• Weight sharing & shared centre of gravity
• Coming in and out of the floor
• Falling
• Spirals in our own body and with other bodies
• Counter balance
• Practicing Yes and No & general Jam etiquette
If you are curious about our Sunday CI Jam's, these sessions will be great preparation.
Please note: We will be dancing in the smaller circus room, with the nice wooden floor. Knee pads are recommended.
While the room is toasty warm, the floor can feel cold, so bring a blanket and/or pillow for times when we are sitting, and double your socks!
You can book a 4 session pass from any of the available calendar dates.
Drop-ins are welcome.
Pay cash at the session is also an option, but please bring the correct money as I may not have change.
