Patience in Play : A Contact Improvisation Workshop with Lilianna Kane
Dec
12
3:00 PM15:00

Patience in Play : A Contact Improvisation Workshop with Lilianna Kane

A dance practice workshop with focus on body contact/improvisation movements led by Lilianna Kane.

In this class we will practice resting as an entry point for patient and present Contact Improvisation practice. We will practice slowing down in order to speed up. We will practice attunement to one another, to the ground, to the space, and to ourselves in order to engage in dynamic play. 

We will work with specific techniques for softening into the floor, finding the round surfaces of our structure, moving with the rhythms of our breath, and entering in and out of physical touch with other bodies. We will work low and close to the floor, and move towards higher levels. We will practice falling, and possibly flying.

Don’t know what Contact Improvisation is? Read more here.

Bio:

LILIANNA KANE

I am an improviser, primarily invested in the dance practice of Contact Improvisation, and cooking. I am committed to improvisation as a physical practice of asking questions, paying attention, patience and peace. I value the interplay of rigor, rest, discipline and play. I teach and share my practice nationally and internationally, as well as produce and organize international CI gatherings and intensives. I am currently the head chef and a CI curator atThe Field Center(center for performance, dance and multimedia art) in Bellows Falls, VT) where I have the privilege of regularly practicing, teaching, and researching Contact Improvisation. I am deeply indebted and inspired by all of my teachers, dance partners, and dance ancestors, who continually influence my practice.

A Container for your grief/weaving soft vessels led by Meirav Ong

10:30 AM10:30

A Container for your grief/weaving soft vessels led by Meirav Ong

A space to be soft, to be in quiet meditation, to get out of our thinking brains and into our body, through weaving guided by Meirav Ong.

This workshop is a ritual and ceremony to slow down, be with our grief, in softness, in tender company, and regulate our nervous system as we head into this winter season.

This full day weaving workshop offers a gentle, hands-on way to transmute stagnant grief into something soft through ritual of repurposing fabrics and materials that no longer serve us into something transformed through weaving. 

Together we’ll delve deeper into meditative aspects of weaving, learning techniques for rug and basket making, as a way to navigate grief, exploring processes of thinking and feeling through our hands to form soft vessels that hold us.

This workshop includes:

  • A guided somatic and vocal meditation to release stagnant energy

  • Workshop kit with all materials and tools to create + take home with you

  • Guided weaving demonstrations

  • Tea + cozy snacks
