From "landing pads" to "docking zones," our bodies come with natural tools for soft, light improvisation. In this class we will explore the easeful, tri-axial mobility of our spines to create new shapes and find novel pathways to connection. There will be time for exploring biomechanics, open dancing, and reflection. Every skill level is welcome. Every limitation is welcome. Bring yourself as you are. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing, without jewlery or strong scents. Teacher’s Bio: Aaron has been engaging in workshops, research, and training in Contact Improvisation for 13 years, and is currently working toward his Teachers Candidacy in The Axis Syllabus. He also plays with Partner Dancing, Acrobatics and Figure Skating. Aaron is fascinated by movement pathways that harness momentum, prolong the life of joints, and spark laughter.
