Hi all.

After a CI-quiet Labor Day weekend, I'd love to invite you to CREATE, MOVE, PLAY, our Sunday CI class & Jam, and Animal Flow next weekend.

Plus you can register for the Autumn Leaves Jam in Toronto--housing provided--Oct 10-12!

More info, in order:

You are invited to be part of the first Ann Arbor Create Move Play event, Sat. Sept 6 1:30-4pm, open to anyone who enjoys moving their body. It will be a great opportunity to discover new approaches to listening to your intelligent body in a safe environment. Contact dancea...@gmail.com to register ($35-$55 sliding scale.)

And then on Sunday Sept 7th, we have our CI class & Jam in A2!
Class is 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.


Also on Sunday 9/7, a few hours after the jam, come out for Vivien Reece's ANIMAL FLOW workshop, supported by Cassie Catania, in a beautiful backyard in Ypsilanti...
4pm-5:30pm
1133 Maplewood Ave, Ypsilanti, MI
Intro to Animal Flow with Vivien Reece!

Animal Flow is a ground-based movement system and calisthenics conditioning choreography whose practice and play promote greater bodyweight strength, mobility, and agility. It fosters understanding of and creativity with your body in space and it is a great way to work out. In this workshop I will teach you most of the basic movements of level 1, and we will perform flows and execute games of movement expression together. You will leave with some new movement capabilities, some ideas for more fun and creative home workout drills, and a couple of impressive yet accessible animal flows to express your body’s playful power.

Vivien Reece is a holistic fitness coach who helps active, creative people get in shape and reduce muscle and joint pain through mobility, strength training, and contemplative physical play. She is a lifelong dabbler in many movement arts and sports but has a special place in her heart and practice for contact improv dance, exotic dance, tennis, volleyball, and good old fashioned walking. As a coach Vivien always tries to model deep intellectual inquiry combined creatively with deep physical experiencing. 



And then in mid-October, why not travel to Toronto and stay with Canadian dancer-hosts to attend the Falling into Autumn Jam organized by Kathleen Rea?

Shahah Klapkew is coming to teach at the “Falling Into Autumn” Toronto weekend dance jam occurring Oct 10 to 12 at the National Ballet School. Kathleen met and danced with him at the Salt Spring CI festival... he is an amazing, gifted partner.
