A body-mind-anthropological-imaginative journey to study the weight of our sensations, our reflexes, to study our attention and how it moves and is being moved.&nbsp; We will focus on some principles of Material for the Spine (MFS, Steve Paxton), studying our skeleton, the relations between parts that can allow movements and dance.&nbsp; We will investigate spirals, puzzles, walking as foundation and centers as initiators.&nbsp; We will explore the space as a spherical place where all directions are imaginable and possible.&nbsp; We will research our way to be round, our way to adapt with pleasure to this planet earth supporting us, our weight, our steps.&nbsp; We will research the principles of CI in their technical, philosophical, social and political aspects. We will study touch as a way to communicate, researching fascia and how it is adapting, responding and transmitting information, choices, and directions.&nbsp; We will meet other people focusing in how we meet, how we are open to interdependency, how we receive the impact of any encounter. We will practice readiness, availability for changes, possibilities to re-direct, transformation and disorientation as a way to multiply horizons. Through this dancing research the invitation is to create new practices for collaborative spaces of growth and relational knowledge. We will research some of those topics through our dance:&nbsp; -If empathy is something we can practice&nbsp; -if together is different than alone -if precarious is the new way to be rooted -if solidarity is just a word or is a shared practice.<div fr-original-style="width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5;" id="isPasted" style="width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5;"><div fr-original-style="line-height:1.5;" style="line-height:1.5;"> Please note this is an experienced CI level Workshop.</div></div><p fr-original-style='margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); min-height: 15px;' style='margin: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); min-height: 15px; box-sizing: inherit;'><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> If you are interested in attending this workshop, and cost is a barrier please reach out to Sierra at: <a fr-original-style="" href="mailto:info@edamdance.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">info@edamdance.org</a>.
