Intensive with K.J. Holmes (USA)
Paraphrasing a quote from playwright Samuel Beckett, this workshop will deepen one’s relationship to the Soma through practicing contact improvisation into performance, Soma (as in Somatics) in Latin means the body. In Sanskrit, it is the nectar of the Gods. Where we meet is in the play between the facts and the fictions. This is the location of our great imaginations. This workshop will be an entrance into physiological and poetic character/qualities of the bodymind going from practice to performance. Traveling from the physics of the body moving in relationship to earthly forces and others to actively witnessing each other, we will create a dance that will further our experience of contact improvisation into an expression of our humanity. How do we see ourselves seeing being seen?
