WHAT TO EXPECT?
Explore the essence of partnering technique to integrate it effortlessly into your movement practice.
Part I: PREPARING THE BODY
In the warm up we will already start understanding how to use our bodyweight in different ways. You will become comfortable with the other people in the space and prepare your body to be stable and agile.
Part II: TECHNIQUE & TOOLS
Technical exercises to practice partnering principles: sharing weight, giving direction and moving from the center. We are focusing on lifts without using only muscle power but rather want to understand the mechanics of the body.
Part III: OPEN PRACTICE
Improvisational play using the techniques to discover new materials. You will have time to explore in your own time with a few different people at the end of each session. In this part your body get time to implement the technical tools.
Here’s what you will experience
