Challenging Falling and Flying with Ray Chung

(For intermediate to advanced and experienced participants.)

October 3-4, 2009 Sat. 12:30-6:30pm, and Sun. 12:30-6pm (Berkeley, CA)

This workshop will focus on developing proficiency with the skills and approaches necessary for leaving the ground, moving through the air, and landing safely, in the context of Contact Improvisation.  Starting with the essentials of grounding, centering, intention, and moving support, we’ll move onto weight modulation, creating levity, precision in locating centers, and related topics.  We will play on the edge of what is possible for each participant to challenge one’s self to really “go for it” in aerial movement and landing/catching strategies and techniques.  Integration of these practices into dancing will be a focus of the workshop.  For intermediate to advanced and experienced participants.
