Contact Improvisation
Jam + Workshop
We invite all artists and movement lovers in town to an exceptional evening of dance, music and improvisation amidst the beautiful green gardens of Zorba the Buddha.
There will be a guided introduction, a warm up to celebrate togetherness, awaken our bodies and our senses, and connect to the group, to the space and also to the sound. We will then open the space to a journey in Improvisation, accompanied by live music in the background. Meet ourselves and meet others in movement, communicate and co-create through our bodies and individual expressions. Awareness, listening, playfulness, curiosity and creativity will be our guides.
Please come on time to be a part of the introduction and bring soft comfortable clothes.
We look forward to your presence and participation in this Dance!
*Prior dance experience not required.
About the Facilitators
Being a professional dancer, Chittaranjan’s approach to contact improvisation is very unique. He brings both technical as well as spiritual approach to his dance. Chittaranjan combines these approaches with Safety Release Techniques & Creative Movement Therapy. He believes that the most important essence of contact improvisation is sensing and raising awareness of self and others, for it is only within that one finds freedom and connection simultaneously. He has participated in international festivals like Goa Contact Dance Festival facilitated by Angelika Doniy, Irene Sposetti and Erica Kaufman and the Nataraj Dance Festival hosted by Zorba the Buddha.
Rachnika has been a student of dance for 11 years and has trained and performed professionally for 4 years. She has been trained in ballet, jazz and modern contemporary at The Danceworx. There, she taught dance, both, to kids as well as adults for 4 years. Her own research explores the idea of ‘listening to the body’ and is supported with the practice of Vipassana, a form of meditation. She explores the relationship of the mind and body. She gives workshops on 'Body Awareness' and also performs as a dance artist. She is also currently teaching dance to kids and senior citizens.
