Contact Improvisation: Katye & Charlie 21/01/14

Today we were working with Charlie as well as Katye on contact improvisation.

The exercise in the video involves 2 people staying in contact with eachother whilst turning. Both mover's pelvis' come stay in contact which also involves the ribcage also sometimes coming into contact. The arms are left suspended in the air to allow the movement and specific point of contact to occur. It was interesting to work this way with a partner, but also made me feel quite dizzy as we were spiralling alot in this exercise and throughout the lesson on a whole.

In addition to this, we also did another partner-based exercise which involved partner A being on there hands and knees, and partner B finding ways to use that person as a form of support.
I really enjoyed this exercise as it introduced a new way of moving for me. It made me feel very supple, and therefore eager to experiment with new ways of moving when in a duet. It was extremely interesting when a new instruction was introduced of both partners moving, and I felt really embodied and intrigued by what was being produced.
