Contact improv is a dance form that explores touch, weight sharing, and finding a flow state with other bodies. Beyond the physical, it’s a beautiful way to practice listening, trust, following impulses, and cultivating playfulness. These workshops are a chance to learn and deepen CI skills, with a combination of exercises and open dancing to integrate what you've learned. October’s workshop focuses on how we physically communicate consent. We’ll practice saying no, yes, yes and - through our bodies. We’ll explore ways to invite another into a dance and how to read responses through body language. In addition to recognizing that consent can change in every moment of our dance ...
