Summer Seasonal Underscore at Dreaming Stone

Join Asheville Jam and Dreaming Stone Arts & Ecology Center for our second seasonal long-form Underscore practice in beautiful Rutherfordton, NC this weekend. Happening Saturday, June 7th (in lieu of our weekly jam), we will gather at Dreaming Stone for a Talk Through at 1pm (the Talk Through is a critical part of the program, and we encourage all participants to attend) followed by a luxurious three hour Underscore practice. Participants are invited to stay afterward for a community potluck. 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 More details at the event page: https://dreamingstone.org/events/seasonal-underscore/ Harvest the goodness of summer in community and the gorgeous landscape of Dreaming Stone. We hope to see you there!
