Easy Motion

Contact Improvisation Dance

Contact and improvisation dance was created by a talented group led by Steve Paxton in the 1970s. It emerged from the will to experiment using non-pre-established body movements. The company behind this concept, Grand Union, developed the technique connecting expression and consciousness to body movements. In this way, breaking up with the traditional dance formats existing to date.

It consists of bringing free movements of touch, weight and pressure in a conscious and improvised way between 2 or more participants. The movements challenge the balance of each participant body. It’s represented in many forms and shapes such as bearings, slow falls or physical supports that are based on consciousness, relaxation, energy flow and free expression.

Contact Improvisation Dance Practice

The practice is a self-knowledge learning with a pedagogical aspect that is based on silence and concentration. Undoubtedly, seen as an artistic expression since very interesting movements are achieved. During this practice everyone is a leader. So there are no hierarchies. There is, above all, a willingness to work on the connection between your body and your partner’s body.

With Pramod this practice takes the form he calls Easy Motion. It’s a result of all practices taught by himself. Practices such as Bioenergetics, Dynamic Meditation and Martial Arts.

Testimonials

Through meditation and bioenergetics I was able to feel my inner self again, where I was able to harmonize energies and began to have a perception of life with wider eyes that I never imagined possible.

Gonçalo

For me bio and active meditation with Pramod is perhaps the greatest adventure I have ever had. It is a path full of sharp corners, sharp gradients and sweat (literally!) But also full of landscapes and beautiful and unexpected encounters of those who are amazed, even glimpsed and make you feel so full that at that moment nothing else matters. “First you find yourself strangled and then you become entangled.”

School … active meditation … a portal of tools that make me awake to reality, the reality of who I am, of what I am while being in this fantastic universe, that sometimes I walk in an illusory world created by my own mind . Here comes active meditation. Pramod’s work emerges, which allows me to enter a real world. This world that allows me to walk in truth, in reality, out of illusion. With that I get more structure, with Power for the challenges that arise day by day sometimes being just inside my mind … Then I have a choice … to follow up on this illusion and to be caught in the darkness or to grasp the teachings that the Pramod conveys to me and continues to be filled with light, peace and Joy. It is undoubtedly a process of real growth as a being in this wonderful universe.
