𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲
Step into a space where movement is both exploration and technique. Our workshops invite you to use the body as a medium, to play with weight, space, and connection, and to discover how new forms emerge through improvisation.

These first two classes(28th of June and 5th of July) and will be geared toward first timers, beginners and people we enjoy taking it slow. If you doubted if contact improvisation is something or you. Or you were a little afraid to try. This class is for you.

We guide you through the many layers of contact improvisation: from learning technical foundations to engaging in intuitive research. No prior dance experience is needed. Just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to move.

Some background information
Contact Improvisation (CI) was developed in the early 1970s by American dancer and choreographer Steve Paxton, who combined influences from modern dance, ballet, and the martial art Aikido. His goal was to explore movement through touch, shared weight, and trust.

Playfulness and intention are at the heart of CI. However, it is also a physical technique. Learning how to give and receive weight, roll safely, and work with momentum helps dancers move with more freedom and awareness. Like any skill, it grows through practice, making each class/jam richer and more creative.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲
Another Kind Of Blue is known for beautiful choreography mixed with technique. With international acclaim, we make shows where we fly with drones, use projections and are currently developing a VR experience.

We believe dance is more than perfection and technique. Therefore, we embrace contact improvisation, a form where spontaneity and direct interaction with each other are key. We encourage people to let go of control, trust their instincts and each other and discover new, unpredictable movements.
