contact improv class (for beginners!) with Piper

​Join us for a Contact Improvisation fundamentals class! We will explore the spirals, pathways, and deep listening skills essential to practicing CI. Whether this is your first time exploring the form or a regular at jams, this class will offer tools to support your dancing and group awareness. All bodies are welcome, and everything can be modified. Reach out if cost is a barrier!

​A little background on CI: Contact improvisation is a movement and social dance form initiated in 1972 as an exploration of the kinesthetic possibilities of bodies moving in contact and their combined relationship to gravity, inspired by a myriad of practices, including martial arts, modern dance, and meditation. Contact improvisers train in sharing weight, expanding somatic awareness and responsiveness, and navigating disorientation. 

​Piper Morrison is a dancer, improviser, and chef with a background in Contact Improvisation, Aikido, and contemporary dance. She is curious lately about what lies on the outside edges of risky weight sharing, modulation of tension and release, and finding where softness and rigor can coexist.
