​​CI is a free-form dance (started in 1972 by Steve Paxton) exploring partner movement based on how bodies interact with physics: touch, gravity, balance, momentum & playful exploration. expect to see lifts & rolls, “body puzzles,” unexpected timing & perspective-altering positions. we partner into dynamic, in-the-moment duets, tuning into our sensations, the subtle cues of a touch & where the movement wants to go. it’s about staying curious & discovering our natural instincts for improvising.

​​disclaimer: contact improv involves the possibility of physical injury. we follow the 1st rule of CI: “take care of yourself first.” by participating, you are responsible for your own safety & well-being. please listen to your body & move consciously.

​class is $20 - here or venmo: @a_soft_opening. No one turned away for lack of funds, please DM us if cost is a barrier!
