This two day workshop is a delicious opportunity to deepen your investigation as a practitioner of Contact Improvisation. We will explore the facets of listening and receptivity as our window of being guided from within. Allowing agenda and traditional frame oriented partner dancing to take a back seat, so that the flow can lead the way. What happens if you forgot all you knew about Contact Improvisation, and simply showed up in your primacy while tending to the physics of the bodies in collaboration? What a wonderful way to reside in the moment while in partnership with the Now.

Our sessions will also be spiced up by Experiments in Communal Play and Nesting and Resting: The Art of togetherness.

Experiments in Communal Play:

It has been scientifically proven how vital play is to our well-being.

Animals and young children are always playing which supports their nervous systems to be fluid and flexible.

Ever notice how contracted life can feel when we are taking ourselves too seriously?

Just a small dose of play per day can expand you into a state of awe of joy and aliveness.

How can we remember to play?

Let me support you!

This workshop is an improvisational playground for collaborating in community through movement, theater, and humor.

Nesting and Resting: The art of togetherness

This workshop will be based in rejuvenation and restful contact duets.  Release the mind, words and conversations and melt into a safe and intimate container for regulating our nervous systems.  We will allow our connection to each other to simply be an embodied elemental conversation.   A place to remember who we are through somatic connection, rest and replenishment of our vitality.  

This gathering will be a rich time to recalibrate your nervous system, and enjoy the pleasure of resting into Being with one another.

**please bring your own lunch and snacks for the full weekend

**please arrive AT 10:30 am. Your parking, and conversations need to be complete by 10:45. No exceptions the container will close at 10:50 am.
