Rebecca Bone
Class Description: Choice Making in the Unknown​
​
Making different choices in Contact Improvisation can often feel overly effortful and sometimes beyond our capacity. Making a new choice is like proposing a hypothesis or asking "what if?" Yet this question can often be followed by the habit to direct the outcome, therefore keeping it within known territory but adding extraneous effort.
In this workshop we will explore how to shorten or release the hypothesis in order to spend more time in the unfolding experiment of the unknown. Together we will discover how to make new choices in ways that are more easeful with greater capacity to tumble gracefully into the mystery of improvisation.
