Sliding scale: $16 - $ 24 ; cash or Venmo upon arrivalDescription:
In this class, we engage with Contact Improvisation as a radical practice of honesty and care. Our humanness is welcome here. Rooted in somatic awareness, we approach this work as a practice of presence and emergence-- of being with and responding to the unknown.We will explore bodily sphericality and three-dimensionality, cultivate a relaxed state of readiness, discover spirals everywhere, and sense our smaller bodies in relationship to the larger body of the Earth. Our movement will span from the contemplative and sensitive to the physical and dynamic. Sometimes we’ll work with precision, other times with broader strokes—through witnessing, solos, duets, and ensemble.
Dance becomes a tool for practicing how to be here, now.
This class is open to all levels, and there will be material to engage with whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer. That said, some prior movement experience or body-based practice is recommended as a helpful entry point.
