Women's Contact Improv: A 5 Week Journey

A 5-Week series in Contact Improvisation for Women, beginning on Wednesday 16th September.

Four weeks of classes designed to build skills week by week, and a jam with live music in the fifth week with local musician, Fiona Sofia Louise.

Update: It is possible for those who are new Contact Improvisation to join in from Week 2, or Wednesday 23rd of September. After that, drop-in spots are only available for women who are experienced in CI.

In this container, we explore:

✧ How we can soften into a state of deep presence

✧ Fundamental technical skills of Contact Improv (CI), including weight-sharing, momentum, floorwork, & more

✧ Somatic skills, to help us deeply listen to ourselves and to each other

✧ How we can find ease, comfort, and a sense of freedom in a CI jam space

We also explore the question, how is it to dance in a space exclusively for women?

~~~~~

This series is designed for for us to progressively develop skills each week, and deepen in our connection as a group.

It is open to all levels of experience. See below for an example video of contact improvisation.

It is possible to attend the first or second class as a one off drop-in class, after that we will be a closed container for the remainder of the classes.

In the fifth week, Fiona Sofia Louise will be creating a beautiful soundscape for us to dance in. Depending on numbers, we may open up the space for other women to join in.
