REPARTNERING: contact improvisation & Body-Mind Centering®, March 14 & 15
A Two-Day immersion in Contact Improvisation & Body-Mind Centering®
Hosted by Oslo Kontaktimpro in collaboration with Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad
Through embodied exploration of bones, fascia, organs and developmental movement we will discover partnering that is effortless, intentional, and alive.
Day One: Inner Architectures
We will begin by awakening anatomical and physiological precision, embodying our structural support of skeleton and fascia, and dropping into the dimensionality and metabolic power of our organs. Through guided movement, touch, and attention, we will identify, articulate, and integrate the body’s tissues, discovering the distinct movement qualities they offer.
Day Two: Developmental and Evolutionary Beings
We’ll journey from micro to macro, from cellular breathing to group flying. We will discover the relationship between the smallest inner activity and possibilities for expansive movement through space together, aligning inner intelligence with outer expression.
