Berkeley - Cloud Tectonics CI Workshop
Registration & Liability Waiver

CLOUD TECTONICS: LIFT, LOFT & DRIFT IN CI
With Ezra LeBank

Berkeley, California
@ The Finnish Hall

February 23-25
Friday 6-9pm
Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm

Description

Is it possible for us to fly and fall without noticing much? Can the drift inherent in momentum compel us toward intuitive pathways above and along each other?
We will begin with Dirt Work: physical training to expand, integrate, and ready our bodies in conversation with gravity and the earth to prepare for Cloud Tectonics – work that aims to reframe our experiences of lift, loft, and drift. Detailed and buoyant exercises will guide us toward a dancing experience that feels full of abundant and radically free choice-making in vertical and spherical space for both ourselves and those we dance with. Instead of relying on each other, we imagine a dance we co-create amidst simultaneous independence and communion while in flight.

Some previous CI experience assumed.
