We can feel in our social contexts that the desire for closeness, touch and in-person communication is slowly outweighing the fear and hesitation that underlies the need for distancing and protection. And it is spring: growth and expansion are all around us.
We are curious about what supports our feeling of belonging alongside our wish to stay authentic and centred in ourselves. What will be the dance between those wishes? Being in our core while connecting to our surroundings?
We want to bring some awareness to the upper body, breathing more fully, opening the chest that protects our heart. Expanding our arms like wings. Letting the wind go through us and under our feet. We gonna invite this lightness from a nourished and grounded center, so we know where the ground is, also in moments of disorientation. And let’s see how the lightness reaches our spirit
We will visit developmental movement patterns on this journey into Contact Improvisation, from ‘bonding with the earth’ to some lifts, and technical explorations from a somatically nourished body.

ABOUT CONTACT IMPROVISATION
Contact Improvisation is a dance form that strengthens the connection to oneself, the dance partners and the whole group. It’s underlying movement technique is based on the exploration of how two people can move together while being in physical touch, sharing weight. It benefits from empathic listening, generosity and curiosity and creates a space to practice letting go of expectations, allowing repetition and receiving the new as a refreshing by-product.

ABOUT ANAT GREENBERG
Since first discovering CI 20 Years ago it has become a vast source of my Inspiration, Passion, Joy, and personal growth…and still is. I have been dancing, teaching, learning, performing, and organizing in the CI world since then.
Exploration through movement and dance is for me a practice of presence, connection between body-heart and mind, and a source of learning more about the nature of reality and life.
I try to offer different states of learning. I hope to bring the Nature of questioning as a source of curiosity and engagement.
My journey with dance started young as a Gymnast and led me later into contemporary dance, Improvisatiom, Contact Improvisation, Yoga, Capoeira, Pilates, Body-mind centering, authentic movement, Ilan Lev method, and more..
