Physically and emotionally perceiving this 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 trascends its given form. Javier Cura is an argentine american multidisciplinary artist. He has dedicated himself to the Fine Arts creating several art exhibitions of objects, sculptures and instalations.

Contact Improvisation is a dance form in which the point of contact with another dancer provides the starting point for a movement exploration. It is most frequently performed as a duet, but can be danced by more people. The emphasis is on the flow of energy and on an awareness of one’s own body and that of one’s partner rather than producing body lines and shapes. Contact Improvisation invites creative thinking and spontaneity as well as technical ability. Emphasis may be on the opening and attuning the senses or on finding ways to move fluidly and efficiently. Fundamental skills such as sharing the weight, rolling, lifting and falling are usually taught. Each teacher has a different approach, drawing from different disciplines and studies (i.e: BodyMindCentering, Laban Movement Analysis, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais Method, Capoeira, Thai Chi, Skinner Releasing Technique, Biology, Ki-Aikido, Shiatsu, Zen Meditation and many more).
