Contact improvisation classes and jams are held on Saturdays at the Moving East Centre for Martial Arts, Dance and Complimentary Medicine 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.
Charlie Morrisey will teach the class this coming Saturday, 8 April:
Charlie’s classes explore ways of deepening our sense of the three dimensionality of our bodies; their mass and their relationship to gravity and space. We take time to feel the support of the floor and to notice the physical sensations that inform our relationships to our bodies and their interactions with the physical world. As we meet other bodies we are encouraged to take a playful approach to what we find. We explore our own desires for moving whilst negotiating the other people we come into contact with. We use listening in the body as a tool to learn about and navigate the new territories we encounter.
Charlie Morrissey has been researching, directing, performing and teaching nationally and internationally for fifteen years. He creates large and small-scale site specific and theatre and gallery based performance works with diverse groups in different contexts. He is fascinated by the potential and the challenge of the live event and continues to work with the body as an expressive container of its experiences and perceptions of the world. He initiates research and performance projects on a regular basis. His teaching explores experiential approaches to the moving body and is informed by his ongoing work with Steve Paxton, Lisa Nelson, Scott Smith, Henry Montes, K.J.Holmes, Kirstie Simson, Gill Clarke and others.
