Contact Improvisation

Contact improvisation is a movement practice where two or more people move together, dancing in and out of physical contact. Movement can be fast and dynamic or slower and more subtle. in this workshop we will roll, spiral, spring, support and fall, learning how to do so safely in relation to the ground and to each other. It is suitable for anyone who likes to move, and can be equally accessible and challenging to those with no previous movement experience, as it can to the experienced dancer. Practising contact develops skills relevant to any performer: it encourages sensitivity, playfulness and presence.

Matilda has been practising Contact Improvisation for many years and its principles inform all her other work, as a dancer, aerialist and physical theatre performer and teacher. These diverse disciplines in turn influence her Contact teaching, to create a playful, dynamic but gentle approach.
