When registering, please include a brief description of your dance background and experience with contact improvisation. ------- Contact improvisation requires a courageous willingness — but never so much as when we dance in the absence of will – those moments when we drop the reigns and, nowhere bound, allow our animal to carry us. Join good company for dancing and discovery. With games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention. We will take a one hour lunch break. Bring a favorite dish to share. Instructor Bio: Martin Keogh has taught and performed contact improvisation for over thirty-six years.
