We want to practice the TRIO IN DANCE because it enriches our opportunities and our experience and also takes us away from focusing on one partner, and opens our attention to 360 degrees!
ATTENTION! Only for the participants having at least some experience of СI and jams! If you never danced СI, begin to dance today, to be ready to come :)


ABOUT THE CLASS:

According to Peggy Haсkney, each of us is the unique being, and at the same time each of us is a part of collective beings - the relations. It means that in each couple of people it is possible to distinguish three entities - me, you and our dyad. When we are three, there are already seven of such entities!!! (me, you, the third person, three different possible dyads among us, and the trio itself).

From the point of view of social psychology, the trio is a smaller size of a small group. What does it mean? It means that the laws of communication that work for the duet, in the trio don't work anymore. When there are three of us, we begin to deal with all the phenomena of social interaction which we meet, being part of a group.

Simple example: in a couple, people can have different opinions, either to be unanimous, or to agree in favor of opinion of one of them. In the trio someone's opinions can coincide, and then there appear majority and minority, and there we meet topics of priority, justice, recognition, equality and so on...

From the point of view of Jacob Ly Moreno, the founder of psychodrama approach, the healthy personality has two main properties: spontaneity and creativity.

The spontaneity is an ability to make adequate elections in unfamiliar situations, and creativity is an ability to make new elections in already familiar situations.

Consciously observing ourselves in the trio, we thus study the behavior in a group situation, and we study to note our patterns and to make the adequate, creative, authentic choice in everyone new and in each familiar situation.

We learn something about Ourselves not only next to the Other, but also near Others.

In our life we quite often face situations where there are more parties, than two. Starting with family, when with the child's birth the great duet turns into the trio, the quartet, and the farther there is more... The friends relations and the love triangles, working or educational groups, groups of co-owners of any business or property, finishing with international policy of the different countries. These relations can be extremely inspiring or difficult, fruitful or fruitless, exhausting or filling us with energy. As always, at the head of a corner - a human factor: how we are able to be in these relations? How we are able to support ourselves and others? Are we able to fill ourselves with suffering or joy, expectation of the future or attention to the present situation?

This class is small individual laboratory of each participant on “How am I in the trio, and in general, in group? My borders, opportunities, desires, habits and the newly discovered abilities.

With all power of associations and parallels with life, the class will be a research at the level of physics, body and dance. It will give the fruitful soil for contact dance, enriched with opportunities. Rich in terms of sensations, movement, composition.

One of the main questions in CI, as well as in any other group work is - how, being together (in duo, trio, or being ten of us), we can have the bigger ease and greater opportunities, than separately? How can I adapt in such a way, that presence of other people does not limit me, rather the contrary, enriches and supports me?

We invite to this class participants that have at least some experience in contact improvisation.
