Architectural Playground: 
The Joys of Structure in Contact Improvisation 

 Through support from the bones and an understanding of structural integrity, we find buoyancy, resiliency, and specificity.

"The playground comes to life with counterbalances, launching pads, unexpected levers, and waves to ride. We find easeful pathways up and down from the ground and into the air through attentive response to the moving landscape of our partners."

 

This workshop offers material accessible to both beginners and experienced dancers wishing to deepen their practice.

Details regarding Moti's December 1st workshop, here.
Attend both and receive a $10 refund and free admission to a Tuesday Jam.

TEACHER BIO: Daniel Davis (Formerly known as Danbear) has been teaching and dancing CI and improvisational composition for over half his life. He utilizes the form as personal practice as well as in the creation of performance work. His teaching has been greatly influenced by The Axis Syllabus (which he teaches). His approach to CI is one of constant research into the expansion of range and choice. He also has been taking Contact Improv to new heights with its application to acrobatic stilts in collaboration with Kristen Greco and The Carpetbag Brigade. 

Daniel has taught internationally in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and throughout North America. He has performed on submarines, desert rocks, construction scaffolding, and art galleries. He’s made pieces about dementia, gender, war, heritage, identity. He cares about image, awe, and beauty. In creating a wide and rich acceptance of what it is to be human. He has been blessed with opportunities to perform with Nancy Stark Smith, Nita Little, Scott Wells, Guillermo Gomez Peña, Kira Kirsch, The Body Cartography Project, Live Art Installations, Felix Ruckert, Erika Tsimbrovsky, Caro Novella, and many other inspiring body/minds.
