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?
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.
