Contact Staff, Full Body Foundations
In this workshop we will learn how a Contact staff moves in relationship to our body. We will cover combos that are based on travel direction and spinning direction. This will help us understand the dynamics of the contact staffs movement. We will learn how we can integrate our legs into our patterns. This can be done by finding pathways between our hands and feet.Kinetic Energy and Gravity make Contact Staff possible, when we use our whole body we have more space to create connections. When we connect with our body and the space around us we are able to ground ourself and find balance. We are connected to our planet and our props through movement.
