About

Traces Workshop- Improvisation & Embodied Practice

Eve Walker Dance



With influence from Steve Paxton's Contact Improvisation, the workshop explores memories of contact and sensation to inform the way we move. We will move through several task-based explorations to experience touch, and then take it away leaving the remnants behind, influencing our movement through a care centred, embodied approach. Underpinned by a knowledge of the Body as Archive, the practice aims to unpick previous experiences of contact and touch to access the sensations individually and as a solo exploration throughout the workshop. Use this workshop as a purely physical exercise, a form of embodied practice, a discovery into the body or as a meditative practice for yourself. 

This workshop is open to professionals and students.
