(class) 1st Saturday Contact Improv: Rachel Schwartz

We will practice Contact Improv Fundamentals with 4 stand alone classes, incorporating touch and spontaneous collaboration, that are appropriate for beginner and experienced movers alike. CI uses the forces of physics to explore areas of movement we could not find alone. We will explore the concepts of entering and exiting dances, points of contact, pouring and supporting weight, falling and flying, varying tone, counterbalance, and deep listening. A Jam will follow each class, providing the opportunity to further develop and experiment with our skills. Looking forward to dancing, moving, and playing with you!
