SUMMARY:Martial Dance - Workshop with Karl Frost
DESCRIPTION:Martial Dance is subtle body meditation and athletic play in physical contact\, blending soft-form martial arts with contact improvisation. Participants explore interdependent movement through collaboration\, supports\, lifts\, and playful challenges of force\, structure\, weight and balance. Dancers work with martial focus and mechanical curiosity; martial artists release combat-focus for more open-ended physical play. Central to the practice is adaptive physical listening—sensing biomechanics\, nervous systems\, and shared structure and adapting mechanically sound movement with pleasure and care. We play with support\, redirection\, shaping each other’s movement\, and collaborative movement into and out of the floor and through the air. Structured exercises and open exploration draw from Tai Chi push hands (Toishou) and contact improvisation\, leading to grounded\, curious\, and physically engaged play of body and mind.\n\nKarl Frost has been teaching and performing contact and related work in body-based creative process for the over 39 years. He is known internationally for his dynamic and articulate movement style\, rigor in physical research and teaching\, and for the edge-pushing nature of his work in both practice and performance. His work\, influenced by studies in contemporary release technique\, Alexander technique\, and martial arts\, has been showcased across the US\, Canada\, Europe\, and South America. His performances\, via Body Research Physical Theater\, take the body and emotionally and physically felt experience as their reference points\, often in highly audience interactive frameworks.Karl holds a PhD in Ecology (emphasis in Human Ecology and Cultural Evolution Theory)\, and MFA in Dramatic Arts\, and a BA in Physics. He is currently a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig\, Germany).www.bodyresearch.org\nFriday 6:30-9:30pm\nSaturday/Sunday 12-6pm\nJam Saturday 6-8pm \nEARLY BIRD until 31.1.
