London Contact Improvisation
Contact improvisation classes and jams are held every Saturday at Moving East in Stoke Newington. All levels of experience are welcome and booking is not required. To attend the class please arrive at 11.15 in order to start at 11.30. The class is followed by a three-hour jam which can be attended independently of the class.
Adriana Pegorer will teach class (with added Tango flavour!) this coming Saturday, 26 November:
We will work in partners on: warming up with body manipulation; walking in unison/flocking; the embrace and its release; invading each other’s footpath space (similar to Judo!), jumps, falls and turns; legs locking and displacement.
Adriana started CI with Jackie Adkins in 1996, the same year in which she started Tango Argentino. She trained with Thomas Kampe (during her BA at University College Chichester) and has taken workshops with Rick Nodine, Scott Smith and KJ Holmes amongst others. In Tango she mainly trained with Carlos Gavito, Junior Antonio Cervilla and Pablo Veron. Adriana uses the intricacy of Tango’s leg work and the intimacy of the stylized poses in her improvised dancing and is interested in fragmenting the verticality, the embrace? and lead & follow? traditional of Tango by using the spiralling dynamics and sharing of weight of CI.
Barnaby O’Roorke, composer and performer, will improvise with the dancing through sound at the jam using cello and voice. Barnaby plays the cello, piano and voice. He has worked with Vera Montera, Liz Agiss and Divas, Lisa Nelson, Steve Paxton, Charlie Morrissey and Mim King. Experienced in working with improvisation and dance. Founding member of performance band TREEKLE OMNIVOR. Has taught voice and body development at Brighton University and performs solo songs and poetry with the cello and piano in unlikely places. Recordings include RAVINE, PIANO BLACK and LOOSE.
