-MOMENT COLLECTIVES- 🌀 MONTREAL CONTACT IMPROVISATION SCHOOL Spring/Summer Season of Study 2026 April 13 – July 22, 2026 Please read the following for all info :) — Something is opening. This spring and summer, I’m offering a living ecosystem of Contact Improvisation practice — a space to train, to research, to compose, to listen, to move, to be moved. This is not a drop-in series. It is a Season of Study — a continuous arc of Contact Improvisation training, somatic research, and shared practice. An invitation to move through time together. — 🌿 WHAT THIS IS Over these months, the field opens into multiple pathways: • Study Groups & CI Training • Axis Syllabus Labs & Biomechanics • Authentic Movement & Somatic Practice • Jams & Focused Practice Spaces • Compositional Research & Performance • Music + Dance Encounters • Affinity & Thematic Spaces …all woven together as one interconnected terrain. You can enter anywhere. You can come for one class. Or you can let it reshape your entire practice. — 🧭 HOW TO ENTER The website is the central space where everything is held. → Scroll through the offerings → Click on any class, masterclass, or event → Each page contains full details and a registration link 🔗 https://momentcollectives.com/ — 🌱 ORIENTATION WEEK — April 13–17 A pay-what-you-can entry into the full ecosystem.
