Theme of the lab: Yin & Yang

In this workshop we will work on some technical tools of Contact Impro and on the connection of Contact Impro and Yin & Yang approach.
Receive and give, the receiver that becomes a giver, mind and body e-motions, masculine and femminine,
"Can we be both Yin?", "Can we be both Yang?". What can come out?
What about left and right side brain function?
Fantasy and concreteness, how and where they meet? Where  can bring this approach?
Embrace (us and others), surrender, been transformed through the dance, through the meeting with ourselves and others, ready to flow and get into the energetic flow
of the present moment.

Let's explore all those ideas in these meetings
