Manipulation as a way to the creation
“Every human being builds his own language of movement from the moment of birth. When we come across the path of contact improvisation, we give it our own unique character”.
[I_GO_SYSTEM Michał Ratajski]
If we can leave negative associations with the word „manipulation”, we would see that this can be a very specific impulse. We will play with leading and following. Reaction to manipulation involves not so much the surrender as an active and conscious response. We need to be ready to create in our body – solo of our leading partner. No matter what impulse comes from the outside. We will get in touch the first law of improvisation – say Yes to impulse, but decide what that means. And then, maybe we will get in touch with our patterns and clarity of the way of our dance.

Class „I_GO_SYSTEM – Movement Practise Philosophy”
I_GO_SYSTEM is an original method that compiles experience and knowledge from many sources (primarily from martial arts, contact improvisation, yoga and breathing practices, as well as professional work in the stage field). It is a system that points to the basics of the effective assimilation of knowledge related to increasing body awareness, regardless of its origin and type. Referring to the basics of the correlation of the body, mind and breath, alongside the information from physics and biomechanics of the human body, we will look at tools for an effective expansion of skills in the contact improvisation technique.
