Contact Improvisation 

Exploring the subtle language of connection.
Finding softness in movement, in giving and sharing weight.

Momentum

Contact Improvisation Fundamentals with Aalia

Beginner Skills Contact Improvisation Intensive, a workshop for those curious movers looking to learn the primary pathways and partnerwork skills in Contact Improv.

An initiation into Contact Improvisation. Join us for the 37th edition of Momentum Workshop, for those curious movers looking to learn the primary pathways and partnerwork skills in Contact. Previously held in Bali, Thailand, and Canada, training hundreds of new contact dancers since 2020. Beyond the dance, we teach contact is a continuous investigation on movement as a vehicle for present moment awareness, connection, creative expression, community, and self-empowerment. We will work with solo and duet partner work, from the floor up to lifts, diving into the creative, meditative, and somatic sides of CI, through Bartenieff Fundamentals, Authentic Movement, dance improvising, bodywork, contemporary floorwork, group discussions and much more. No previous dance background is necessary to join. Limited spaces. One day option is available. DETAILS 📆 May 1 & 2, 2025 ⏰ 12:30 - 6 pm each day (1 hour break each day) 📍 At Sati Yoga, Koh Phangan ✨ TO REGISTER, SIGN UP HERE: https://msha.ke/momentumworkshop Presented by Aalia Hashem www.aaliadances.com INSTAGRAM @facesofci ❣️ "Transformational.
