David Brown's Contact Improvisation Class "Flying and Falling"

This is a video of a Contact Improvisation class. The Class was an hour long, but was edited down to its current length. It was filmed by Sky Brown. The class took place in Ann Arbor, MI in 2014.

SOmetimes when my partner leans on me standing or on tabletop positon i feel ther hip bones and its rather unconfortable, and they explain to me that its the only way they can lean and fall into my back without much effort how can i correct this

is the purpose of CI to teach you about the emotional connection u can have. w people? or is it just a physical thing.

[@arkanios26]

I have very little experience since i have being teaching myself, I am from Venezuela and there are no CI comunities or gatherings, but i had the chance of doing 1 workshop and i found that the emotionl conection is made and built through having the physical experience, it was a 3 day WS and i did the exercises with many partners but had a total conection with one person and the rest of the exercises were a piece of cake because we understood each other quickly and just had to focus on the details of each exercise and we were the couple who had most fun and the ones that more explored, without knowing each other we now have a great friendhip like if we were friends for long time. Hope this works..!!

I want to take this class.

[@ziemlichgut5360]

This gave me goose bumps. I hope that I will be able to find a course like this where I live. I am practicing Aikido and I think I make similar experiences there. I really liked the way of your teaching, the emphasizes you made.

I appreciate your teaching style. very approachable and relevant. very much resonate with 6m about not grabbing onto your partners hands as that is their way to protect their fall. thank you David.

I like that you are working with regular people and not "dancers"
