DAN 104 Contact Improvisation I
2.0 Credits
Instructor: Pigno, N.
Contact improvisation is rooted in dance, the martial arts, and studies of body development and awareness. It is a duet form where partners use weight, momentum, and inertia to move each other freely through space, finding support through skeletal structure rather than muscular effort. We will explore solo and duet skills such as rolling, falling, balance, counter-balance, jumping, weight sharing, spirals, and attuning to sensory input. Skill work will be combined with more open dancing in a supportive and focused enviornment. No previous dance training required.
