The Northern Jam
Sunday 13 April 2025 - Workshop & Jam

Workshop by Oliver Artur: Softnening into Falling

Falling requires active softening as well as an active state of awareness – we will gather all the somatic tools that allow us to fall.
We will research on gravity and levity as forces that complement each other and that create more space for us to exist and move in between.
What if getting more intimate with our fear and risk can be a way of moving safer and wilder?

About Oliver (he/they)
I'm a queer transgender movement researcher that discovered CI about 7 years ago. Since the beginning I was amazed about the endless creative potential of this practice - realizing what bodies are able to do together in space. Accepting how impossible it is to escape gravity while discovering all the possibilities that it opens up - coping through touch, sharing weight and using momentum and suspension. Playfulness, physical euphoria, the wild, soft and queer aspect of CI kept my curiosity alive until today.
