how to be heavy: warsztat ik z laurą stokes

Studio42, Warsaw

Does our preoccupation in CI with ‘being light’ run the risk of mirroring harmful cultural norms like preferring lighter moods & lighter body types? I’m not sure! But I do know that the contact dances I find most satisfying are the ones with the most shared weight - the heavy ones… Of course I don’t want to crush my partner or be oppressed by their weight, but perhaps through sophisticating our experience of weight we can have more fulfilling, more honest, and more exciting dances! We’ll work with physiological states and specific physical techniques to explore weight on continuums like: Decided ~ Questioning Dependant ~ Agile Rigid ~ Released Sudden ~ Sequential Linear ~ Centrifugal Focused ~ Diffuse Fixed ~ Adaptive Collapsed ~ Activated Transparent ~ Opaque o prowadzącej: Laura Stokes carpooled with Steve Paxton to her first jam 25 years ago, and has been in love with Contact Improvisation ever since. She has worked in many performance and movement disciplines, these days she’s most interested in cultivating a non-disciplinary approach to living artfully in a body. kiedy: 21 - 22 listopada 2026 gdzie: studio42, ul. twarda 42 dla kogo: zapraszamy wszystkie osoby praktykujące improwizację kontaktową, zarówno te mniej jak i bardziej zaawansowane. cena: 690 zł przy zapisie do 15 października, później 800 zł. zapisy: https://www.sytuacje.com.pl/warsztaty/how-to-be-heavy-laura-stokes/
