Summer 2025 CI Class Series:

Principles into Practice

Drawing from themes in the natural world

Both the beginner and intermediate CI classes will focus on exploring foundational principles of the form and drawing from principles and themes found in the natural world. We will nurture physical, perceptual and communication skills so new possibilities of creative connection and expression can emerge through CI.

Specific principles we will put into practice:

  • Listening: to self, other and the environment and the co-creativity that emerges  

    Grounding: knowing where the earth is at all times, through our own and partner’s body

  • Rebounding: experiencing levity and spacial support and with that expanding choice

  • Improvising: not planning and saying yes to the moment that is unfolding

  • Integrating: Developing whole body awareness so our bodies’ intelligence is available moment to moment

  • Communicating: honoring our yes’s and no’s as a way to authentically open to the flow of the improvisation 

    Additional themes we will explore include:

    Spherical space and 360 degree orientation

    Center and periphery

    Expanding and contracting

    Inner and outer spirals

    Stillness and movement

    Interior and exterior, contents and container

    Leading/following, initiating/responding

    Telescoping awareness, micro and macro

    Modulating tone

    Simplifying and complexifying

    Integrating and differentiating

    Repetition and variation

    Timing and rhythm
