The body and levels of efficiency - Oslo
A one day workshop with Ben King

In this workshop we will be exploring our connections to the ground and to other bodies. How do we use our kinetic energy to be efficient in moving in and out of the floor and how does that relate to the work we do with a partner. In the first half of the day we will be working by ourselves and building our awareness to different levels of efficiency. In the second half of the day we will be investigating our kinetic listening potentials as we interact with a partner in confrontational and cooperative situations.
