Noam Ben Israel teaching Contact Improvisation

Pushing and Falling

Contact Improvisation Workshop with Noam Ben Israel

May 30–31, 2026 Amsterdam

Pushing and Falling

Skills of Stability in Changing Situations

Using pushing and falling as a point of view for movement and physical encounter, we will cultivate the ability to remain stable, physically and mentally, within shifting movement, changing weight, and unpredictable situations.

Through working with points of contact, weight sharing, falls, and pushes, we will explore how the body learns to respond rather than hold on, to listen rather than control, and to find an inner axis even as the external structure shifts.

The workshop focuses on developing relational physical intelligence:

  • Regulating tone and center
  • Attentiveness to the point of contact
  • Moving between stability and dynamism
  • Managing physical risk with softness and precision

A space for practice, play, and research where uncertainty becomes raw material.
