Myofascial Release in Contact Improvisation
December 12th & 19th, 7pm at Headlong Studios in Philly
This Body-Mind Centering®/CI class series will offer an introduction to the fascial system through the practice of contact improvisation. We will explore the principles and qualities of fascia, celebrate the connectivity in our bodies, and unwind myofascial tension. Deepening into the fascial system offers opportunities in partner dancing for more of a sense of continuity, weight modulation, and effortlessness in and out of the floor. Additionally, we will explore the shadow of fascial work: scars. Most of us have some scar tissue in our bodies from old injuries or chronic holding patterns. These patterns show up in our dancing as sticky spots, places where movement can’t travel directly through. In these classes we will embrace our imperfections and idiosyncrasies, learn from the knowledge our bodies hold, and become better acquainted with ourselves and each other through moving together.​
