Contemplative Dance Practice + CI Lab
Advertisement
"Comtemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is a structured discipline which gives us time and space to explore and evolve our personal awareness of body[mind] together with others." -Barbara Dilley
Contact Improvisation is the exploration of making contact and improvising. It was never codified but is sustained by the guideline to care for ourselves, others and the whole.
We begin with the CDP practice of meditation / personal awareness / open space sections and follow that with a CI lab/jam, with opening and closing circles included. The structure is guided and all are welcome to participate. No formal CI instruction is included but tips are available on request.
Facilitated by Carolyn Stuart (any) and her interest in being curious together about co-creating a space that welcomes and supports diversity.
