Performance out of Improvisation Lab / Peer Support (with Kathleen)

For performing artists of all disciplines, students and community members who foster a professional approach, with a desire to make performance initiated from movement. Initially the focus will be on generating lots of short pieces in short periods of time, then development through constructive approaches of evaluating. Emphasis on the craft of making performance over self-expression.

Dance Jam (led by members of the Bristol Contact Dance Group)

Our monthly movement jam where Contact Improvisation meets Improvisation, often to live music. A space to play and dance, with minimal teaching. "I let go of balance and I feel myself fall into fluidity, arcing over my partner to meet the ground. The liberty I feel comes from responsibility. By acting slowly, a quiet strength allows me to face any surprises.”

Movement Improvisation (with Nina)

A way of composing IN THE MOMENT. Through individual and group explorations, these sessions will be about awakening our curiosity… How else can I move? What are the elements I have to play with? Each session will touch on different levels of awareness and group interactions.

Cross-Art Improvisation Lab (with Itta)

An experimental night for improvising artists of all disciplines: music, dance, theatre, writing, visual arts, etc. The focus is on how we improvise together as a group, weaving and blending the different art forms, creating a constant dialogue between sound, movement, words, space and lines. Experience in solo and group improvisation in own art form required.

INTU (with Jamus/movement and Juan/sound)

A place where movement, meditation and prayer become one unified whole.  Loosely based on the Contemplative Dance Practice created by Barbara Dilley, INTU cycles through a sequence of sitting meditation, movement, sharing and dance prayer all encompassed by the textures and fields of Juan Gabriel’s sound offering.
