</span></b><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10px;">We begin by
arriving in the space physically, emotionally and mentally, alone, in
pairs and collectively. To be ready for the present moment, we empty
ourselves so that we can learn and receive,<br>
explore and experience, give and take. We build a connection with our
body on a deeper level, we let go and relax fully into a spacious sense
of time which allows for various activities to come into play, we
explore gravity and the inner energy which comes from our center and
moves through our whole body right to the periphery. <br>
We will spend special attention to the relationship of the head/tail
connection and strengthen the relationship of the center to the
extremities of the body so that our take-offs and landings and our
traveling through space are all brave, smooth and safe. Breath,
relaxation and letting go is directly connected to being grounded and
centered while moving dynamically.<br>
Each day we will practice a specific Contact skill and work with
enlivening the senses so that we can be really open to finding
immediate creative solutions.<br>
Tuning, toning and enlivening our entire being, creates a state of
readiness which leads us to fuller, vibrant, connected dancing. We can
then enjoy the richness of our dancing alone, in pairs and as agroup.
We will also have opportunities to perform for each other, to view,
discuss and share the work at hand.<br>

</b></span><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10px;">The Score is
an ensemble of rules and parameters to which the dancers respond as
they develop their awareness through improvisation and instantaneous
composition. <br>
The object of the workshop is to make the participants more aware of
and to develop their capacities for perception and observation in
movement, to facilitate group tuning, to interact with the environment
and integrate these qualities in improvisation.<br>
The purpose of this work is also that of producing a language based on
observation and the ability to make decisions that become actions and
to organize independently a dance, or an ensemble of physical actions.<br>
Introducing the world of sensations into the creative work.<br>
Developing different ways in and out of Contact. <br>
Developing skills throughout release imagery exercises and gradually incorporating them into improvised dances.<br>
Allowing for different dances to unfold in a supportive environment
with time to sit out and watch, and space for individual needs.<br>
Work will be done in solo, in group and in duet form.<br>

</span></font></b><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10px;">The
inclusion of the discipline of Authentic Movement in the dance of
Contact Improvisation serves to enrich the sources from which a mover
can move or be moved. <br>
We come together in pairs or groups, we come to find out what is
already in us waiting to emerge, we come knowing that we don't know
what we will do. <br>
Our purpose is to awaken that part of us that is our internal witness,
which observes and participates in moving from the tiniest physical
impulse to the most complex physical expression. <br>
Being "present" in the moment with exactly what is you will practice
witnessing yourself as you will-fully move, surrender to personal or
group movement by being moved, or as you remain in stillness. You will
learn the beginnings of a discipline that brings consciousness to how
the whisper of a breath may lead to doing or non-doing, and which leads
ultimately to knowing oneself. <br>
We will learn and practice through a particular form of Authentic
Movement called the "Ground Form" in which seeing and being seen and
the relationship we have to ourselves and others are central points of
focus. <br>
Being present and in contact with yourself you will wake up to the
deepest resources within which can spark spontaneity, clarity and
recognition of the when, where and how you move or don't move.<br>
Authentic Movement is based on the relationship between a person who is
moving [the mover] and a person who observes [the witness], on the
experience of seeing and being seen, the restitution of past
experiences. <br>
Sharing through movement, words or design opens new deep poetic spaces
in the individual and collective psyche, enriching personal and
interpersonal experience.<br>
In learning to turn a receptive attention to our kinesthetic, sensorial
and emotional flow, with eyes shut we can let our spontaneous and
self-directed movement flow.<br>
In learning how to recognize and to let go of the impediments that
obscure the free flow of being, the body will be seen as an alchemical
container, aware that this is where the transformation mind/body/spirit
takes place.<br>
<br>
<font color="#00007e"><b>Objectives of the laboratory:<br>
- the discovery and development of the active presence of the inner witness;<br>
- attention concentrated on the constant flow of being both in movement and in immobility;<br>
- exploration of our relationship with the contents emerging in the practice.<br>
Brief notes on the history of the Authentic Movement<br>
</b></font>The roots of the discipline lie in Jung's concept of Active
Imagination. The movement developed in the early 1960s in the United
States and is the result of the encounter of the dance movement therapy
and depth psychology in the person of Mary Starks Whitehouse. <br>
Two main currents branched off from her teachings: one refers to the
work of Joan Chodorow, a Jungian analyst and dance movement therapist,
and the other the proposal of Janet Adler, a dance movement therapist
andPh.D. in mystical practices. <br>
Plevin refers to J. Adler's teachings.<br>
