​Class 5: Falling & Flow — Contact Improvisation Class + Open Jam

​This fifth class explores the art of falling, recovering, and finding flow through Contact Improvisation. We will investigate how to soften into gravity, release unnecessary tension, and transform falling into continuous, fluid movement.

​Through guided exercises and partner exploration, we will practice safe falling, rolling, yielding, redirecting momentum, and moving between different levels. Rather than resisting gravity, we will learn to work with it, discovering how moments of imbalance can become opportunities for connection, creativity, and effortless transitions.

​Special attention will be given to developing trust in our bodies, listening through contact, and allowing movement to unfold naturally without forcing or anticipating the next step.

​The session includes 90 minutes of guided instruction and partner exercises, followed by a 30-minute open jamwhere participants can explore the material freely, connect with other movers, and discover their own improvisational pathways.

​After the jam, we will share tea and time to connect, offering a relaxed space to unwind, reflect, and build community.

​Topics include falling and recovery, yielding to gravity, momentum, rolling, fluid transitions, moving between levels, responsive partnering, relaxation, and finding continuous flow.

​No previous Contact Improvisation experience is required. Each class in the 8-week series is designed to stand on its own, so participants may join individual sessions without attending the full series.

​What to Bring

​Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and make contact with the floor. Long pants or leggings and a fitted or comfortable top are recommended. Please bring water and arrive a few minutes early so we can begin together.

​Class Guidelines

​Contact Improvisation is a shared movement practice based on attention, communication, and consent. Participants are always free to pause, modify, or opt out of any exercise. All falling and weight-sharing explorations will be approached progressively, with attention to individual comfort and safety.

​Please come clean, avoid strong fragrances, keep nails trimmed, and remove jewelry or accessories that could catch during movement.
