Staying With is an improvisational movement series where we lean into the known—our familiar movement patterns, habits and histories—to guide us towards the unknown. Moving in solo, duets and ensemble, we will both honor and disrupt habitual impulses, while also exploring gradients of touch and energetic connections with ourselves and others.
This series draws from Somatic Experiencing, somatic release techniques, ensemble and contact improvisation. Questioning: How can we lean more deeply into our practice of improvisation, when there’s uncertainty and discomfort?
Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30pm, September 30-October 21
Location: Center for Performing Arts
Workshop Price: $100

Each class is limited to a small group to allow for writing, discussion and building rapport as an ensemble. It is recommended that participants commit to the whole series, as each class will build upon the next; however, please reach out if you are only able to drop in.
