Description

Join us for exploration of nuts and bolts of FUN. If you are a beginner, or if you have studied contact improvisation for years, and would like to deepen your skills, this class is an opportunity for you. Join us for investigation of presence, listening, weight, structure, curiosity, play, communication, safety and the very point of contact. Get personalized feedback and dance it through in a class with two instructors. Using ArtSomatic approach as a FUNdation for contact dancing together we will create a container for deep and grounded investigation.
