We can imagine movement as a dynamic combination of centripetal and centrifugal forces. Physically and emotionally perceiving these forces can help us re-attain a lost animal harmony, and create within us a fluid state of constant metamorphosis. We will share this experience in trios, duos and solos. Taking advantage of this underlying principle and using some elements of martial arts, tango and/or physical theatre we will enrich our Contact Improvisation dance till it transcends its given form.
