Join a crew of friends for a sequence of contact improvisation workshops and play! Acro yoga enthusiasts and dancers are welcome! We will take our bodies and mats to various parks and outdoor spaces and share movement exercises, games and freeform play. Bring a yoga mat or light blanket, water and snacks. Let’s enjoy the evening and connect with each other! Please note: this is a ride that will embody radical consent . What is contact improvisation? A social dance involving touch, in which momentum and weight sharing between two or more people are used to create and inspire dance movements. The dance form is practiced with or without music. Techniques include rolling point of contact, balancing over a partner’s centre of gravity, following momentum, and “listening” with one’s skin surface. Contact dance improvisation is accessible to people with no previous dance training and to people with mixed abilities. Read more here: https://contactimprovconsentculture.com/about/
