Every direction can find more clarity and support through the awareness of it’s counter direction.

If we are going somewhere, we are coming from somewhere.

In order to move up we need to extend downwards into the support. In order to move forward, fully present, we need to stay connected to where we are coming from.

The awareness of counter directions allows us to expand more, finding suspensions, having more subtle choices in communicating our timing, and being more responsive and articulate in the way we are giving our weight.

The principles of counter direction and counter forces is yummy food for movement and contact-technique and it also opens links to how we deal with ourselves and others beyond the dance.

The workshop is designed for people who already have a basic understanding of Contact Improvisation Dance. If you are not sure if that’s you, please contact Jaime, 0431 373 497.
