Everything Everywhere All At Dance ~ Blindfolded Contact

Join us in co-creating a new dance culture focused on safety, inclusivity , & permission. One that invites the Fusion, Contact Improv, Ecstatic Dance, all other dance/movement forms and Sex/Kink-Positive communities to blend & play together on one dance floor. Our intention is to create a community culture that focuses on inclusivity and caters to the accessibility & safety of Queer, BIPOC, and differently abled communities. Join us for an evening of playful expression, in-depth explorations, and community-building as you indulge in your discovery process and uncover new pathways on the dance floor together. This is a social dance that is intended to be accessible to anyone new to Contact Improv and/or Fusion dance. Also a space with a lot of safety and permission created to allow those that want to dive in and play full out.

Wearing blindfolds allows dancers to drop the fear and self-judgment that often inhibits spontaneous movement and authentic connection to self and others. This workshop/playshop will take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises before culminating in a freeform blindfolded jam. Testimonies: “Most profound experience of my life. This is what the world needs now.” “A beautiful exploration of touch, movement, and breath. A complete surrender into bliss.” “This is a very powerful practice of feeling vulnerable whilst knowing that one is in a safe container. It is very healing.” “I came into this as a shy person that never danced. The blindfold and the instructions made me comfortable to be myself.” “Blindfolded contact may sound scary but it’s SO accessible and liberating. TRY!”
