Listening to Movement
5-Day Intensive with Antoine Ragot
Add to calendar
Axis Syllabus - Somatics - Contact Improvisation
This workshop proposes an exploration of movement at the crossroads of contact improvisation, soft acrobatics, and Axis Syllabus inspired research.
Drawing on a body of knowledge that illuminates the design, anatomy and dynamic potential of the human body, we will investigate pathways of movement, floor work, dynamic transitions, and playful physical tasks.
Participants will develop tools for improving coordination, athleticism, and proprioceptive communication. Our practice will refine the art of listening - to gravity, momentum, and one another.
Contact Improvisation will emerge as a space in which these principles can unfold, offering opportunities to deepen responsiveness, and improvisational dialogue.
The workshop will weave together solo and partnered explorations, combining technical studies with improvisational scores that encourage curiosity, adaptability, and support embodied awareness.
Open to those with some experience in contemporary dance, Contact Improvisation, or somatic practices who wish to enrich their movement vocabulary and expand their capacity for playful improvisation.
