AIM Part 1: Embodied Dancing, 10am-1pm

Begin to free patterns of tension to access your underlying support and awaken intimacy and surprise in yourself to uncover varied and unexpected material in your dance practices and/or in performance. Kinesthetic information is received through “hands-on work” and can then be integrated into your dancing. During guided improvisations you will have opportunities to witness each other to access more presence and aliveness in your dancing.

AIM Part 2: Contact Improv, 2-5pm

Learn to listen and respond in the moment to yourself, others, and the space around you to access more effortless and efficient partnering. Receiving “hands-on” work promotes whole-body integration and helps you free and expand as you come into contact with another. You will witness each other dancing in duets and trios to awaken your spatial perception and deepen your connection with yourself in relation to others.
