~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Contact Improvisation is a partnered movement form that offers an open exploration of bodies moving together through space in and on the earth. It involves skills such as rolling and releasing, lifting and falling, giving and supporting weight. This constantly evolving movement form invites the energy of collaboration and healthy opposition to deepen and expand the possibilities of human connection with our bodies, the earth, and each other. The class and Jam provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for self-study and is open to dancers of all experience levels. Those new to Contact are encouraged to attend the pre-jam class and stay for the jam. All bodies are welcome in whatever form they take.

The jam will feature a mix of silence and ambient and down-tempo music with occasional live musical accompaniment.

Cost:

6:30pm - Class -$15

7:45pm - Jam- $5-$10 sliding scale

*Every Wednesday*

More About Matthew Cavanna:

Matthew brings 20 years of experience dancing CI, having been exposed to the form in High School where he credits it with saving his life. He carries this deep gratitude for the healing potential of the dance in his teaching along with his passions for attachment theory, trauma resolution, childhood development and the Hakomi Method amongst others. He has been developing a curriculum rooted in attachment theory, mindfulness and CI for the last few years (and is finding ways to integrate his new love for jiu-jitsu into this work).

In the future there will be guest teachers bringing their own diverse experiences and skills sets to the community.
