I cannot quite express how important this feels in my heart/solar plexus… partly cause it’s so obviously an easy way to ameliorate suffering in a direct simple way. Partly because food sovereignty is near and dear to my heart. Partly because my fiend Mo has been so sweetly focused on raise some money for her friend Nour.

Convergence
8th Annual Vancouver Contact Improvisation Festival

We are thrilled to announce WCCI’s 8th Contact Improvisation Festival running in collaboration with Simon Fraser University School for the Contemporary Arts (SCA), which has generously offered their dance studios in downtown Vancouver. This year it runs Friday April 17th to Sunday April 19th and we will be offering a multitude of inspiring classes over three days.

The festival has been curated to provide a fascinating breadth of material intended to offer something of interest to the professional dancer as well as to the contact jammers, flow folx, yogis, ecstatic dancers, somanauts and all those interested in embodiment and healing arts. Anyone who loves to move can find fascinating material in this schedule. It’s going to be rich and the opportunity for cross-pollination is unparalleled.

Dates: April 17-19, 2026
