<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Malcolm has spent the last
five-years developing a body of work called Awareness Perception Presence in
which he combines the Feldenkrais Method, Experiential Anatomy and other
specially-devised material to enter into a physical dialogue with ourselves and
our environment. In this particular series, we'll explore the Fish Body (axial
skeleton) taking some of Steve Paxton's Material For The Spine as our
reference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Each class begins with a
guided exploration/lecture/dialogue in which the specific theme of the class is
introduced through movement and associated anatomical details. Next a
Feldenkrais (ATM) class which aims to clarify some aspects of the theme. The
final part of the class is spent in self-directed exploration taking the
references movements as a starting point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">SInce we work alone in these
classes, it is possible to open these to anyone who wishes to attend. The set
material is simply standing and walking so makes no special demands physically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">When are we truly
improvising CI and when are we just running through familiar patterns and
pathways? As we become more experienced and skilled in the form, how can we
keep our dancing fresh and improvisational?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">One way is to study how to
be present to ourselves and to extend our perception of ourselves. The
Awareness Perception Presence morning class series aims to address to these
issues. In the context of this workshop, you could think of them as an extended
warm-up or preparation to dance CI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">In the afternoon sessions,
we'll follow a process that unfolds by exploring a series of simple CI scores
designed to interrupt the familiar. We'll also create our own scores, explore
some less-common contact technique, watch each other dancing, and dialogue on
the improvisational nature of CI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">During the workshop, the
exploration of scores will be directed mainly toward the question of
improvisation in CI. My experience is that they are interesting to watch and
also open up strategies for performing CI. The workshop will therefore
culminate in a showing where we will dance some of the scores that we have
worked on for an audience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">Participation in the
workshop showing is not absolutely necessary but strongly encouraged. It will
take place on Friday, January 29, 2010 at 8:30 PM<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">For the afternoon workshop
there is a limited number of places, available for participants with at least
three years experience of dancing and studying contact improvisation. If you
are interested then please write a brief outline of your experience and
interest in attending (no more than one side A4).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

somatic movement researcher, educator and performing artist. Movement is life
and just about any situation can be analysed in terms of what moves, how,
where, when and with what quality - I am fascinated by how people move and by
how I move, both alone and in relation to others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
