Elements of Contact – Contact Improv Workshop

Join me in an exploration of the many varied qualities of Contact Improvisation – slow and grounding, fast and flowing, energetic and emotional.  Using the elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Ether as our guides, we will cultivate these qualities in ourselves and our dances. Through movement exercises, we will practice basic skills for dancing Contact Improvisation and deepen our sense of connection to self, other, and the environment.  Each session in this series is offered as a stand-alone class, beginning with Earth as the principal theme. In this class we’ll focus on how to unweight the body and learn safety in basic lifts. We’ll practice principles of CI that connect with the lightening of self that Springtime invites. All classes in this series will include skills for boundaries and consent, which are at the core of CI practice.  This class is appropriate for beginners and all bodies and abilities.
