Elisabeth Andrio
Amphibian Dance:
Contact Improv on Land & Water
About
In this workshop we will explore our amphibian origins, reconnecting to water and earth.
We will begin on the beach, grounding through somatic practices and connecting to the elements: earth’s solidity, the texture of the sand, the sun’s warmth, the whispers of the wind…Through guided invitations, we will explore early developmental movement patterns.
Transitioning into the sea, following the principles of contact improvisation we will relate to the element water in new ways. Nature becomes our dance partner, guiding our movement, until we extend this exploration to play with other bodies.
All bodies and abilities welcomed!
