Endings and Beginnings—Episode 12, December

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

samedi 14 décembre 2024 • Durée 27:51

Welcome to our 12th episode of Points of Contact, the podcast where we explore the dance from of Contact Improvisation and so much more with Carolyn Stuart. In this concluding episode of Season 1, we reflect on the insights and experiences shared throughout the series. We also look to beginnings, as I start my journey into parenthood and grad school. Carolyn is starting to feeling into what a season two may look like.

A devotee of Contact Improvisation since 1984, Carolyn’s research and development of the dance form spans 17 countries, hundreds of projects, and diverse populations. Her primary teachers have been commitment to the process of exploration and the use of the blindfold. Her mission is to make contact improvising accessible by distilling the vastness of possibility into the simplest of terms. The current edge of her investigation is applying the principles of the C.I. paradigm to life at large. If mutual well-being is possible on the dance floor, then what about off the dance floor too—for the generations to come! Writings by Carolyn Stuart can be found at: ⁠www.contactgames.wordpress.com⁠

7 Options (part two)—Episode 5, May

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 1 juin 2024 • Durée 32:48

Welcome to our fifth episode of Points of Contact. Each month, in conversation with Carolyn Stuart we dive into her experience, philosophy, and teachings of Contact Improvisation. Carolyn has spent decades to distilling ⁠seven options⁠ available at the point of contact. In this episode, we cover the last four of these seven options. If you if you have not had a chance to listen to seven options, part one we encourage you to do that before listening to this episode. The last four, of seven options, talked about in this episode are: 4. MOVE YOURSELF Support precedes movement. Assess the support and use it to move. Use the support to roll, slide, push, pull, pivot……….. your own body. Touch to notice how you align yourself with support for ease and oppose it for effort. Touch to play with how you use the point/s of contact to organize your movement. Touch to express, balance, explore, amuse….. yourself. Touch to Adjust For Comfort- AFC and you shall receive! 5. MOVE OTHER Touch with the intent to move your partner. Touch to initiate, to influence and direct your partner’s movement. 6. GO WITH WHAT IS OFFERED Touch to accept being moved, to go with the direction that is being suggested. 7. COUNTER WHAT IS OFFERED Touch to counter what is offered, to not go with the direction being suggested. Touch to counterbalance. Counterbalancing creates structure. Structure creates support for movement. ⁠7 options, by Carolyn Stuart ⁠ CONTACT IMPROVISATION is relational medicine. It is freedom grounded in connection. It is a powerful balm and sublime fun when there’s awareness present and options available for immediate use. It is improvisation. You are the source, filter and framer of your experience. You are the initiator/responder, receiver/transmitter, master/student…… in charge of the ever changing nature of your experience. Commit to caring for yourself and all you are related to! You are an intricate and unique part of a whole. If the whole is not healthy, the parts suffer. Own that you are the one and the all. Pay attention to the lively dynamic of continuously and simultaneously influencing and being influenced. Own your participation in and responsibility to the mutuality of interbeing. Become intimate with gravity. It is the lord of us all, dictating that we are relational. Track the perpetual unfolding of the one and only moment. Notice whether what is happening is beneficial. If it isn’t, explore what else is possible! Use the options to explore ‘spectrums of possibility’ ~such as the range and degrees of effort, weight, speed, tone, surface, space, states, intent, emotion, response, allowing……… Practice, practice, practice….. ever noticing, ever curious, ever responsive “What am I doing? What is my partner doing?”Cultivate spacious attention for the WE of You and Me. Awareness of what is creates safety and defines what else is possible. Track what is and notice if what is is beneficial?If it is not, then use the point/s of contact to change what YOU are contributing.You are half the equation, so changing your participation changes what is! Aspire to a seamless, continuous awareness of what is co-evolving here, now. Commitment to a continuous connection is what unifies the diversity necessary to achieve and expand the capacity for mutual well-being. When we’re aware of what is we don’t need to know where we’re going.What’s next is already becoming, according to our relating to what is. Awareness + Curiosity = Exploration Connection + Options = Belonging + Freedom Participation is Divine! pay attention / tell your truth / listen / ask what wants to happen to care for all those involved

7 Options (part one)—Episode 4, April

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 26 avril 2024 • Durée 36:36

Welcome to our fourth episode of Points of Contact. Each month, in conversation with Carolyn Stuart we dive into her experience, philosophy, and teachings of Contact Improvisation. Carolyn has spent decades to distilling seven options available at the point of contact. In this episode, we cover the first three of these seven options. These first three options are: 1. ENTER / LEAVE Touch to leave one point of contact in order to enter another (think walking!). Touch to enter into, to initiate a dance. Touch to leave your partner on their center when you need to leave a dance. Touch to relate to what is. Touch to rearrange your relationship to what is. 2. ASSESS SUPPORT (ideally, this option is a constant that supports exploring all the other options) Gravity is our context. Support is inherent. Touch to be aware of, to feel your circumstance. Touch to assess the existing support. Touch to track the support as it is changing. 3. DO NOTHING Explore non-doing to experience and witness the complexity of being. Touch to simply receive and be received. Touch and do nothing. 7 options, by Carolyn Stuart CONTACT IMPROVISATION is relational medicine. It is freedom grounded in connection.
