Core Contact

Saturday, April 4th

10:00am - 12:30pm

This workshop explores the core practices of (c.)ontact (i.)mprovisation—a dynamic duet dance form where physical connection sparks unexpected movement possibilities. All levels of c.i. experience are invited to work with foundational techniques including points of contact, weight transfer, and athletic awareness - then move beyond mechanics to explore artistic choice, intention, and spontaneous composition.

(c.)ontact (i.)mprovisation transforms physical touch into engaged, daring, visceral dance. By tuning into your partner's movements, you'll expand your physical range, sharpen partnering skills, and access new movement qualities. Each participant pushes beyond their current comfort zone into thrilling, uncharted territory.

Founded by Steve Paxton in the early 1970s, (c.)ontact (i.)mprovisation now thrives globally—in professional studios, universities, and community spaces. This workshop welcomes everyone ready to discover what becomes possible when two bodies meet in motion.

Spontaneous Self Foundations

Saturday, May 16th

10:00am - 12:30pm

This workshop introduces the foundational practices of Spontaneous Self, a comprehensive framework for dance improvisational study and performance. Open to all levels, the workshop guides dancers through solo, duet, and ensemble improvisational exercises and scores. You'll develop agency, creativity, and spontaneity while building skills for further practice and performance in dance improvisation.

Rooted in post-modern, contemporary, and somatic practices, Spontaneous Self develops the technical and compositional skills needed to create coherent, compelling performances with minimal predetermined structure. The approach values spontaneity, collaborative intelligence, somatic awareness, and compositional rigor—preparing artists to generate work that engages both performer and audience.

This workshop is suitable for those beginning to explore dance improvisation, as well as those experienced dancers looking for greater depth and connection within their practice.
