some memories from ISSC training @somaticcommunicationinstitute
5 days of deep study and research into physical attention, somatic communication and the ways we relate to the world around us
a space where CI meets life, where movement becomes a way of knowing, listening and communicating
exploring how to recognize beauty around us and within us, how to attend to it, and how to let it unfold
huge thanks to @nitalittleci @leighannkowalsky for your work❣️

Where does your body end?
Nita Little was there at the very beginning of Contact Improvisation. In 1972 she worked with Steve Paxton on the material that became the form, and she has been teaching for over fifty years.
“Touch is not limited to the skin. Touch is extensive, meaning it goes outward into space.”
We recorded this conversation over a cup of sencha in Portugal, right after Nita’s ISSC training, organised by @assembly.contact . We talk about somatic communication, presence as a disturbance, perceptual positions and the “canvas of stillness.” And about what changes when we feel another person as part of ourselves: care no longer has to be added as an ethical rule. As Nita puts it, “My one hand does not have to take an ethical position with respect to my other hand.”
🍵 Full conversation on Time for Tea, link in bio.

dancing in the jam and throughout the second day of CONFLUENCE with the question of what happens when we refuse the idea of how it should be and, by using what’s there, create a space for the unknown to unfold

a reflection on leadership by @re.member.together
during confluence we collectively tapped into a co-creative container of mutual decision-making, shaping the space by bringing to it our gifts.
