Sobre este evento
Hey friends,
The weather looks great, so for this week we propose another jam outside in the beautiful flevopark. For those who enjoy a picnic in the park, feel welcome to come a bit earlier (18.30). Introduction starting at 19.30.
## Contact Improvisation: The joyful art of falling and rising together.
This is a grounding and embodying experience, which helps mind and body come together in a playful manner. Through giving, and taking weight, rolling on the ground and eachother, we learn to move in surprising and fun ways. Dancing CI can feel like a combination of getting a massage, acrobatics, surfing, dancing, andd… flying?
CI is a movement practice that helps us break down habitual movement patterns, and instead create room for new and exciting ways to move, dance and play.
It is a way for us to be uniquely and unboundedly creative.
## Introduction: "Slowing down time" - by Ludo
How to slow down time as a tool for more connection and presence in your dance.
Getting into that bodymind space of "nowhere to go, nothing to do", our dances get the chance to unfold in their own way and rythm. And we - as the dancers - get to enjoy an abundance of time to witness all that presents itself in the dance: the texture of skin, the shadow of a tree, the wind in your hair.
Unhurried, unworried. There we'll meet!
## Location
In flevopark we will gather in front of the mother tree. You'll find it in proximity of the big black scared rabbit.

## For you?
- You want to be more in the body
- You like to play
- You like to explore new ways to move
- Contact makes you happy (and perhaps shy?)
- Especially for you if you are curious but also a bit afraid
- And for all of us who just can't get enough of somatic research through dancing!
For all movers, beginning or advanced. You don’t have to have the “skills” to dance contact improvisation.
## Contribution
Jamming in the open outdoors. No rent to pay, yeay!.
If you still like to donate, that will be much appreciated. You can bring cash or pay here through hipsy. Suggested donation: 5-15 euro's.
## What to wear / bring
- Comfy clothes you can easily move & dance in
- Some food you'd like to share
Optional:
- Something to sit on (blanket)
- Music instrument
## Finally
CI can be seen as a form of art, it is about body research, and play, in a non-sexual way. Although those feelings are super welcome to rise and fall, we are not engaging in them. If your intention is to "pick up" or hookup: this is not the place my dear.
