The Black Box
From the organizer:
Following the successful program last April, American Choreographer/Performer Emily Navarra will return with workshops on Contact Improvisation, focusing on techniques of Reaction/Response from 17-20 July. This is part of her multidisciplinary performance tour in Vietnam for 2014.
Contact Improvisation
Contact Improvisation is practiced as both a concert and social dance form. It is an improvised dance form practiced by two or more people who attempt to keep a physical point of contact between their bodies while moving freely without music. The dancing may be slow or fast and often involves rolling and weight-sharing; it is practiced barefoot with loose fitting clothing. Contact Improvisation is one of the best-known and most characteristic forms of postmodern dance.
Workshop Content
Emily will introduce some improvisational movement and dancing techniques of Reaction/Response for Beginner (investigating the ‘basics’ of partnering and group structures through floor-work, improvisation and choreography) and Intermediate (with focus on each dancer’s physical response to various stimuli, presented in the moment).
