May 30 – June 1, 2025 

Join us for a mindful, immersive weekend workshop exploring the core elements of Contact Improv: presence, point of contact, weight sharing, and momentum. We’ll move slowly and intentionally, building trust in our bodies and each other through consent-based, easeful practices.

This is a space to deepen your connection with yourself and others, develop confidence in movement, and prepare to step into community Jam spaces with more clarity and sensitivity.
