Buffalo Sunday CONTACT IMPROV Jam (ContACtRO!)

Add structure to your CI expression, find softness and flow in your Acro Yoga, and increase safety in everything you do, even walking down the street. We will be exploring foot to torso interactions ( 'L basing'). Suspension/ lofting, one person standing, one person prone, sloughing for fun and safety, rolling out of anything, happy crashes and posting hands to the floor will all be explored. Stiff noodle and soft noodle bodies will be a dichotomy of play. (Moving towards) getting 'all-in' in spontaneous, unique and novel formations is our game. Ashley Vita Verde and Aaron Water have been dancing and prancing together for over 4 years.
