One consciousness One body | Contact Improvisation Workshop

We have been living in our minds for a long time. Our bodies are often used merely as tools to fit into a single definition of who we are, or who we should be. In this, we forget what our body.. what our being.. truly longs for. To let consciousness return to the body, to the greater body of life, is to begin the journey from separation back to wholeness. The separation within ourselves becomes separation from the world outside. The wholeness within ourselves becomes wholeness with the world, with the planet. In this workshop, we will explore these questions through physical solo and contact practices: - Where am I now? - Am I here, or elsewhere? - How can I ground my consciousness in the body, in the now? - How can I disappear in one place and be reborn in another? - How can I become whole with myself, with the earth, with space, and with another body? - Through touch, how can I touch not only the body but the greater body of existence? - How can I recognize separation at its root? - How do I create heaviness and lightness? ...... The workshop is dedicated to building a new relationship with ourselves, one that makes life lighter, simpler, more harmonious, with less effort and less conflict. — Facilitator Xu Xiaoling Based in Hangzhou, China Former Architect Contact Improvisation Dancer & Facilitator (since 2016) Butoh Dancer (since 2018) Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Facilitator (since 2022) Authentic Movement Facilitator (since 2022) — Time August 26th 19:00–22:00 19:00–21:00 Class 21:00–22:00 Jam — Price 5000 ISK per person
