Join us in Copenhagen for a CI workshop with Charlie Morrissey the 5th Oct - 7th Oct 2018.

During the workshop we will explore ways in which structural and architectural aspects of the bones offer ways for us to connect: through the body, through space, and to other bodies. The classes will use practical exercises and scores as a means to open up supported and spacious movement in solo, partner and group work.

Charlies work is influenced by ongoing working relationships with Steve Paxton, Siobhan Davies, Lisa Nelson, Kirstie Simson, Scott Smith, Katye Coe, K.J.Holmes, Katie Duck and others. Teaching is central to his practice and his classes are laboratories for exploration and discovery. He teaches for dance and theatre companies, institutions, festivals and independent organisations internationally.

Here there and everywhere
We are not alone. We do not exist in a vacuum and are always in relationship to both internal and external landscapes and stimuli. In this workshop, we’ll explore a few ways to explore some of those possible relationships.
We’ll start by looking at different structures and elements of the skeleton as one way of working with some of the connections and relationships between what’s inside, what’s outside and we experience ourselves through interaction. We will explore ways in which structural and architectural aspects of the bones offer ways for us to connect: through the body, through space, and to other bodies.
We will notice how the pelvis is a kind of Grand Central Station from and through which our limbs can find root, extension and passage.
The emphasis on the skeleton will offer a support for further explorations of our relation to the world around us, and the ways in which it offers us instructions for action.
