We now offer structured payment plans for our workshops!
We want folks to invest in themselves by attending our classes and workshops and we recognize the financial realities of paying for our events here. We are committed to working with people to making it manageable! Finding the right balance of covering our running costs, paying our teachers well and accessibility is always a puzzle but our payment plan option means that people can break up the fee over 4 months.

Simply select Klarna or Afterpay at checkout to purchase any ticket with a payment plan! 

We also offer our tiered pricing, Work Trade opportunities and our BIPOC scholarship program to assist folks. Hope to see you up here this year! taken in The Field Center by @_thefieldcenter

The moss grows up the side of a tree. The boat rides the wave. The sea grass reveals the currents in the water. The leaf sticks to your hand, then unsticks and floats away in the wind. In this week’s class we will work on approaches to transferring the energy and structural support within a dance. Come as you are. Bring your focus, listening and curiosity.

Deep Inside Nothing is Linear:

At this one day workshop we will open the field of research, as the roots of this practice always informed us.

It is said that Contact Improvisation is actually not possible to teach, but it is possible to learn. Well, I am interested in this crack.

I wish to hold space for an experience, getting along with the maturity towards the experimental part of Contact Improvisation (experimental does not mean leaving the roots behind!).

We aim to keep the questions open for the body:

The points of contact, what are their own agencies?

The cells, how do they develop their communal trust?

Is this all related to falling? Up, down, or into the space?

The brain, can it be understandable by itself?
Floating in a liquid, with our attention spreading as a whole, instead of a thought factory?

If I would frame the requirements to participate, it would be related to the study of oneself, connected to awareness towards the otherhood and to the capacity to feel with the body, or even, as a body; it would finally be about commitment.

I wish for some slippery paths for the patterns and the nourishing ground for discovery.

I am not sure how it is gonna work exactly, and I consider that a good thing. For sure this not knowing holds in itself a certain quality, which is extremely different from whatever.

We will dance, that is certain, we will think, go beyond thinking, with the mind of the body and with the antennas of the senses.

Let’s figure it out together, imagination will play a considerable role, and the threads with the physicality of it will be our main trail.
