Welcome them. Explore them. Challenge them sometimes Why Contact Dance? Surrender.Impulse.Play.Embodied Connection In Contact Dance, we are in constant exploration of ourselves and our partner(s) through movement and play. Through one or several points of contact, we express ourselves as we offer and receive impulse after impulse, constantly negotiating who is the active and who is the passive player of the moment. In this constant state of feedback, we can access moments of flowstate, even peak experience. Why Circling? Embodied Communication Circling is a group relational practice. It brings exquisite attention and awareness of what it is like to be in the moment, with yourself and with others. When we put attention towards our own present moment experience, we open doorways to be with others more fully in their experience. It is an accelerator of emotional intelligence, helping people to embody and be present to a much wider range of experience in themselves and with others. Through this relational practice, we explore the concepts of welcoming everything, owning our experience, naming our assumptions and maintaining a connection to self in the midst of relating with others. Why Circling & Contact Dance Together? Contact Dance is an embodiment playground. Yet the flowstates we can encounter in this space are often interrupted by thoughts, judgments, and doubts. You could call these the voices in our heads. Sound familiar? This is where the tools of Circling come in. Shine a light on these interesting patterns we play out in our lives and break through your blocks to authentic expression and freedom. Facilitators: Tara Li - An avid Circler.
