SOMATIC FLOW 2026 - 2027
This is a contact dance class where the partner is always the ground. We don't work in contact with other humans. We first work on ourselves and our relationship with Earth.
It's a kind of a joke I make often : "Better to mess with yourself and learn with the ground as partner than discovering all the work to do while messing with a human partner". Less ironically, this assumption points the very precious first state of embodiment from experimenting alone, thx to a guidance that helps you to stay in touch with yourself.
We explore what Steve Paxton called "the direction of down". From that place of awareness, we become clearer and start to communicate. We rise and fall, align and disalign, condense and expand, reach and gather... we play with our weight, our speed and the flow.
Then, a dance emerges from both the mind and the body. While moving from sensations, the dancers acknowledge their purposeful gestures.
Based on C.I. and release technique, my pedagogy stands in the gap between a somatic practice with no aesthetics and a contemporary dance practice with no room for self sensing. We compose with both attention and intention. We connect what is still not connected yet, completing our development while accessing a wide range of capacities for communication and expression.
It takes time. This is why the class is a weekly one, every Monday, from 18:00 to 19:30.
