From the organizer:

You are invited to workshops on Contact Improvisation guided by American Choreographer/Performer Emily Navarra as part of her multidisciplinary performance tour in Vietnam for 2014.

Contact Improvisation 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. Con-tact 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 ( with focus on each dancer’s physical response to various stimuli, presented in the moment) and Varone Technique (through the expansive use of the back and limbs with an emphasis on breath, strength, dynamic lyricism and musicality).

Participants: over 16 years old who love dance, movements and creativity
