Flying ≠ Jumping
Aerial aspects of contact improvisation: flying, catching, landing,
fluid acrobatics, deft maneuvers. We’ll do some of my favorite contact
exercises and current curiosities. Created or learned over decades
investigation and indulgence.
For the acrobatics everyone will work at their own level and will
learn best by building group safety and trust– everyone will do
something new. I aim to connect the work to somatic knowledge. For
example: Jumping ≠ Flying because jumping is a muscular action, whereas
flying is in the bones and is affected greatly by emotions and attitude.
Scott’s style of contact is athletic and emphasizes freedom of
movement, flying, fluid acrobatics (easy to advanced), safety,
precision, pleasure and technique. What students often like best in
Scott’s classes is the variance between the meditative, listening, slow
and sensual dancing and the fun, playful, very physical dancing. And
students appreciate how the scary or advanced moves are safe, relaxed
and made possible.
The workshop will be held in English.
