WORKSHOP
CONTACT TANGO 

MIT JAVIER CURA

From Spirals into animal flow into contact tango

We can appreciate in a relaxed animal movement the use of spirals. Approaching movement through spirals and flow will allow us to rediscover our own organicity and movement efficiency.

Spirals are efficient ways to deal with either gravity or a dance invitation. Through their use, we can internalise an external energy, own it and give it back transformed.

This physical biomechanical principle can stand as a beautiful guiding metaphor for every day life.

For this purpose we will align our intention with our center of gravity in such a way that each interaction with the floor will propel new energy into ourselve and our partner.
We will simultaneously physically listen to our partner, so as to be able to give or receive proposals, accepting them or ignoring them.

We will apply and develop all of these through elements of Contact Impro & Tango, Tai Chi, Biomechanics, Physical Theatre and Somatics.
These variety of tools will allow us to create our own spontaneous expression.

Through a playful relation with oneself and others, we will create a musical complicity with our partners where comunion and difference can emerge.

WE WILL :

strengthen a playful mindset that uses efficient patterns instead of force to deal with the outer world,
broaden the subtleness of our sensory motor system through touch, breath, relaxation and grounding,
enrich our creativity playing physically with others,
embody our imagination through different types of animal flows,
nourish novelty, shared risks, subtle listening, blending egos, open communication, creativity, challenging skills and passion,
develop a dynamic stability,
foster an embodied communication,

reclaim our bodies, enhancing our sensoriality and our empathic connection with the earth, with ourselves and others.

FOR WHOM:
This workshop is open to people of all ages and experiences interested in movement creation as a path of knowledge, healing, communication and personal enrichment. 
This open combination, boundless of a given style, developed in a playful environment, results in freedom of movement. It provides the possibility to deepen the understanding of ourselves and our physical relation with society and Nature.
