Noam Carmeli
Morning intensive
‘How deep is the ocean- How high is the sky’ Extension and Expansion
What do we do to take root in the ground and grow into space?
To push and reach out?
What are the differences and similarities between these qualities and how can they serve us in different ways as bases and flyers in the Contact dance.
With extension and expansion we can find more movement in the body with less effort along with a sense of stability and clarity and open more possibilities for flow in the dance.
During this intensive we will dive into the experience of the body as a source of movement and discover how sensing the body can help us communicate better with ourselves and our dance partners.
Based on somatic experience and body awareness we will look for ways to move alone and together to create 'the new' and to express what has no words
