Caroline Waters will teach the class on Saturdays 1, 8, 15 December:
START WITH WHERE YOU ARE
Preparation and exploration strategies for the dance. Referencing the standing meditations from Ki-aikido work and Steve Paxton’s 'Material for the Spine', we will be working to recognize the difference between dancing with muscle and energy. Finding the rolling patterns through the body that support the dance. Experience a satisfactory way to achieve a solid, safe point of contact. We will roll from the floor to the sky.
Caroline Waters is an international dance/theatre practitioner dedicated to the craft of improvisation in performance and the study of contact improvisation. Originally trained by Steve Paxton, Mary Fulkerson Kirsty Simson etc she has over the past 15 years been developing her collaborative practice with artists from many continents and art forms. When not travelling, teaching and performing internationally she is an associate lecturer at Dartington College of Arts UK.
Yan White will play music at the jam:

He will be using a more compact version of a setup that can include zither, percussion, singing bowl, drums, laptop and field recordings. His background is in ambient electronica, celestial drone and heavy experimental postrock.
