London, movingartsbase Contact Improvisation with Cathy Krick

Workshop (Intermediate)

The weekend will explore falling as a playful engagement in Contact Improvisation: Small falls, rolling, pitching and lofting, streaming with gravity to find connection and flow in the dancing. We will look at ways to refine tone and release in our movement and ride out falling as the undercurrent of flying. Kathy's class aims to encourage people to attune their senses and deepen embodied awareness. She promotes enjoyment and ease of effort in movement and supports the generation of different energetic states for dancing both in and out of contact.

Kathy Crick teaches Contact and Improvisation at Laban and London Metropolitan University. She has studied with Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith and Kirstie Simson, among others. She is a member of SOFt, a collective of artists researching and practicing Contact Improvisation in performance. Previous work has included dancing with Yolande Snaith and Motionhouse Dance Theatre and creating performances with choreographer/composer Sarah Goldfarb. She has choreographed and taught extensively in educational and community settings and has supported her work with studies in improvisation, somatic practice, shiatsu, psychology and education.
