50 days living and dancing together.
The goal is to keep dancing for 50 days. Every day a different dance.
Almost two months of activity, a communal co-living practice long residence! The aim is to share time, space, intention around researching and improvising dance and beauty.
Each day a different topic/issue will lead our journey:
body
space
time
motion
gravity
momentum
flow
intuition
play
sensation
Contact Improvisation is an open-ended exploration of the kinaesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through contact. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies and enquiring minds.
from Ray Chung workshop announcement, London, 2009
