Contemplative Dance Practice with Miriam Wolodarski

Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is a dancer’s meditation hall / a meditator’s dance hall. Based on the work of dancer and choreographer Barbara Dilley, the practice offers an array of tools to help us become aware of the movement of both body and mind. Through meditation we notice and focus, through movement we become alive and engaged, and through improvisational play we practice dropping our social mask, tuning to each other and our environment in new ways. The sessions consist of three parts: first, sitting meditation, in which we practice noticing the movement of the mind, and guiding our awareness. Second, facilitated personal awareness practice, in which we practice asking our body what it needs, letting go of ambition in favor of sensation and curiosity. Third, a series of improvisations in which we expand our awareness out into space to notice what is calling us, attending to the emergence of arrangements of time and space, relationships, influences, images, or emotions. The sessions are for all bodies; everyone is welcome to join, regardless of past movement experience.

Introduction to Contact Improvisation with Miriam Wolodarski 

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance form that centers our felt sense of somatic touch: weight, gravity, and momentum carry contact improvisors into a direct sensory experience of the body in space and time. CI can be meditative, playful, or athletic: to the observer, it may look like a mix of ballroom, wrestling, acrobatics, and contemporary dance. For the practitioner, it is an opportunity to experience the biomechanical poetry of human bodies colliding. This gentle and fun introductory class is accessible to bodies of all abilities.
