Join us for a deep dive into foundations of Contact Improvisation every second Sunday.
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 ... Flow Space Yoga and Arts, 117 NW 16 Avenue, Gainesville. Aurora Healing Arts - [more][facebook][events]
