Contact Improv Underscore at Dreaming Stone - Spring Season

The Underscore was described, graphically represented, and taught by Nancy Stark Smith, a co-creator and long-time Contact Improvisation teacher, seeking something beyond the “jam” that caters to individual experience. The Underscore is a structure for group improvisation that includes CI but expands our awareness of a shared journey and the innumerable connections that arise. Tevyn East, Director of Dreaming Stone, had the privilege to study with Nancy and sees this practice as a way to trigger and recognize “states of grace” and collective awareness. Underscore Schedule: 1pm – Talk Through 2 pm – Underscore 5pm – closure and transition to potluck **The Talk Through is a critical part of the program, and we request you prioritize attending. ** The Underscore's magic comes from us all committing our attention to the practice and opening and closing it together. We request that you stay through the end of the Underscore. Register here: https://dreamingstone.org/events/seasonal-underscore/ We all have different economic realities. If it's easy, please pay the suggested amount. If you can be more generous or if $15 is cost-prohibitive for your budget, customize your amount. We want to share abundantly when we can. We do not want anyone turned away because of a lack of funds. Dreaming Stone is delighted to be a hub of study and practice, serving contact communities across NC and the Southeast with our workshops and labs. We are eager to support opportunities for new and deepening connections. Mark your calendars for future underscores and CI jams at Dreaming Stone: June 7th, September 20th, and December 6th.
