🌿 兩日接觸即興工作坊｜結 & 解除掌控 Two-Days Contact Improvisation Workshop｜Knotworks & Un-Dancing Mastery
接觸即興（Contact Improvisation）不只是漂亮的技巧與流暢的共識。 這兩天，我們把它當作一個政治訓練場與身體實驗室。
Contact Improvisation is not a site of polished acrobatic control or smooth consensus. Across two days, we treat it as a political training ground and somatic laboratory.

Day 1｜課程與工作坊 Class & Workshop
結：張力、抗衡與凝聚 Knotworks: Tension, Counterweight & Solidarity
第一天，我們把舞蹈空間視為「生成性摩擦」的場域。不追求毫不費力的流動，而是走向不穩定、張力與彼此依靠，因為這些正是開啟新關係可能的條件。
我們將透過夥伴的身體、竹子與地板探索「阻力」。阻力不是拒絕或分離，而是讓共同移動得以成立、讓社群得以互相支撐的基底質地。
重點在於雙手與倚靠：手握住、放開、形成張力的環。法文的 maintenant（手持／此刻）成為一個關於連帶、在場與集體照顧的姿態。重量不是「我的所有物」，而是一份無主的提供；在彼此的脆弱、對重與共同依賴中，長出深層的信任。
當「結」與摩擦出現，我們不急著修正，而是一起留在這份複雜裡。歧異（dissensus）不是錯誤，而是邀請我們深化集體照顧的入口。
On Day 1 we treat the dance floor as a space of generative friction. Instead of effortless flow, we turn toward instability, tension and mutual reliance as the conditions that open new relational possibilities. Working with partner bodies, bamboo and the studio floor, we explore resistance not as refusal but as the grounding texture of shared movement and community support.
Hands and leaning are central: hands hold, release and form loops of tension, enacting maintenant (hand-holding / now) as a gesture of solidarity, presence and collective care. Weight becomes an un-owned offer rather than a possession, building trust through mutual vulnerability, counterweight and shared reliance. When knots arise, we stay with them together, treating dissensus not as an error to fix but as an invitation to deepen collective care.
Day 2｜實驗室 Lab
解除掌控：反學習「控制」 Un-Dancing Mastery: Un-learning Control
我們活在一個重度獎勵「掌控」的世界，被教導要控制環境、社群，甚至自己的血肉。作家 Julietta Singh 指出，這種支配與征服的邏輯，終將導向生態與社會的斷裂與耗竭。
承接第一天的信任與共享重量，我們將共同打造一個實驗性的實驗室：面對掌控文化——想管理重力、指揮流動、追求完美舉重的衝動——並練習拆解它。
實驗室將打斷預設的動作選擇、舒適的安全機制，以及那副武裝起來的專家姿態。借鏡 Steve Paxton 早期接觸即興的洞見（「at these speeds I can't think my way to safety」），我們進入開放的心智狀態，以比反思更快的速度移動，依靠反射性的身體在場與社群連結，而非個人控制。
笨拙、讓渡與迷失方向，不再是技巧的失敗，而是傾聽、脆弱與相互依存的重要政治行動。
最後，我們以集體反思收尾，把第一天的摩擦與第二天的反學習放在一起，思考這些共同實踐如何孕育社群韌性，培養我們在不確定世界中的集體「回應能力」（response-ability）。
We live in a world that deeply rewards mastery. Yet, as Julietta Singh argues, the drive to master and conquer leads to fracture and exhaustion, ecologically and socially. Building on Day 1's ground of trust and shared weight, we create an experimental lab to confront the culture of mastery: the urge to manage gravity, direct the flow, or hunt for flawless lifts.
The lab interrupts pre-programmed movement choices, comfortable safety mechanisms and the armored expert posture. Drawing on Steve Paxton's early insight ("at these speeds I can't think my way to safety"), we move faster than reflective thought allows, relying on reflexive presence and community connection over individual control. Awkwardness, yielding and disorientation are re-framed as vital political acts of listening, vulnerability and interdependence.
The day ends with a collective reflection that weaves together Day 1's friction and Day 2's un-learning, asking how these shared practices foster community resilience and our collective response-ability in an unpredictable world.
🔗 簡介
帶領者 Asaf 練習接觸即興（contact improvisation）已有約 30 年，曾在特拉維夫、紐約、巴黎與波士頓學習。對他影響最深的老師包括 Steve Paxton、Kirsty Simson、Lisa Nelson 與 Min Tanaka。自 2000 年起，他在歐洲、美國、以色列與布宜諾斯艾利斯授課。他也長期練習探戈（並已教授探戈四年）。Asaf 是 Hubert Godard 培訓的認證 Rolfer®（羅夫結構整合師）。Hubert Godard 與 Steve Paxton 的生態身體學（eco-somatic）哲學，深深形塑了 Asaf 的教學、研究，乃至更廣義的生活。
Asaf 與 Matthieu Gaudeau、Emma Bigé、Joe Dumit 等人一同探索如何「舞動哲學」，發展出多種讓動作與語言彼此折射（diffract）的練習譜（scores）與工具。他目前居住於 Larret，是 Larret en Mouvements 集體（larret.org）的創始成員之一。Larret 是一處致力於即興、身體學（somatics）與生態及其交織關係之研究的場域。Asaf 同時也是 CNRS 的研究員，研究領域包括語言認知神經科學（2008 年於 MIT 取得博士學位），以及舞蹈與即興（labodanse.org）。
🔗 Bio
Facilitator Asaf has been practicing contact improvisation for about 30 years, studying in Tel Aviv, New York, Paris and Boston. His most influential teachers include Steve Paxton, Kirsty Simson, Lisa Nelson and Min Tanaka. Since 2000, he has taught in Europe, the United States, Israel and Buenos Aires. He has a regular practice of tango (which he has been teaching for the last 4 years). Asaf is a certified rolfer®, trained by Hubert Godard. Hubert Godard and Steve Paxton’s eco-somatic philosophies has shaped Asaf’s teaching, research and life more generally. Together with Matthieu Gaudeau, Emma Bigé, Joe Dumit and others, Asaf has been curious how to dance philosophy, articulating multiple scores and tools that diffract movement and language. He currently lives in Larret, a founding member of the Larret en Mouvements collective (larret.org). Larret is a place dedicated to research in improvisation,somatics and ecology and their entanglements. Asaf is also a CNRS researcher in the cognitive neuroscience of language (he got his PhD at MIT in 2008), dance and improvisation (labodanse.org).
