This 10-week journey is designed for movers with some experience in Contact Improvisation. Together, we’ll explore the body, weight-sharing, falling, lifts and ensemble scores. There will be plenty of partner and solo material, jamming time, reflection of challenges and break throughs. 
If you’re newer but feel strongly drawn, reach out — we’ll see if it’s the right fit.
By committing to the block, we create trust and safety to go further. We propose a minimum commitment of 60% attendance (6 classes), with the option to add extra sessions as drop-ins if you’re able to join more.

Each fortnight we’ll focus on a theme and learning aims which will be shared soon:
Weeks 1–2: Pedestrian Body-Mind

Weeks 3–4: Earth Work

Weeks 5–6: Gravitational Pull

Weeks 7–8: Falling Upwards

Weeks 9–10: Creating Together
