Ultimately, The Unbounded Body is a practice of mindful moving through dancing with others. In this workshop we will refer to renditions of human anatomy in books, models and videos to colour the perception of our bodies more vivid. We will consider ideas of what the body can do proposed by me, you and outside sources. Tuning into the interconnectivity and permeability of all of our parts to each other, as well as to the force of gravity, to objects and to others we will nudge at subtle triggers to access unbound dances with pleasurable finesse. Looped co-ordinations, choreographed phrases, somatic work, improvisation and partnering techniques will be offered as methods to precisely and playfully explore moving these ideas together.
