Surrendering oneself to another is vulnerable and powerful. The other is given responsibility. This dance workshop looks at what it means to be held as a movement practice. Working in duets and trios, we metaphorically and literally feel the responsibility within our arms. In a shared space of togetherness, a type of contact improvisation is created with patience, gravity and empathy. Connection and meaning develop through this practice of letting go.
