Contact Improvisation Class & Jam , Birmingham, 19th May 2024
A Contact Improvisation class with Jo Dyer suitable for all levels of experience, in the Randle Studio at MAC.
This class will start with a focused and at times energetic warm-up, where we will work individually and in partner tasks. Using set patterns and improvised tasks the warm-up will include explorations of movement such as folding, rolling and falling.
With a focus on the pelvis as a place of strength, but also a source of subtle, gentle movements, we will develop our dancing to find possibilities to connect, listen, move together and exchange weight.
The class is open to all levels of experience, but some movement experience is preferable (other dance forms, martial arts etc). Please contact me if you are unsure if this class is suitable for you.
3pm-5pm: CI Class with Jo Dyer
5-6pm: Jam (improvised dancing)
It is possible to just attend the jam – arrive from 4.45pm. You can buy a ticket in advance on Eventbrite or pay £5 cash on the door (if possible, please bring exact money).
The Solidarity price is to help me offer cheaper tickets for those on lower incomes. If you wish to buy a concessions ticket, this is self defined, so there is no need to offer proof of concessions status. If you would like to attend this event, but cannot afford the concessions price, please contact me directly to discuss other options.
About Jo Dyer:
I began dancing as a child in Birmingham and was a member of MAC Youth Dance in the late 1980s/early 90s. I went on to train at Northern School of Contemporary Dance, as well as taking many workshops and classes in release techniques, CI and other movement forms in the UK and Europe. I have been dancing CI for over 20 years, and in 2006 I trained in Contact Improvisation with Nancy Stark-Smith at the January workshop in Massachusetts. I am currently studying for a MA in Creative Practice at TrinityLaban.
