About this Event

Stranger Encounters presents: CONNECT BEYOND WORDS with Sanat

In an age of hyper-independence and quiet isolation, how do we truly reconnect?
Let’s explore interdependence, interconnectivity, and sovereignty…all coexisting within the same moving reality through the art of Contact Improvisation (CI).
CI is an avant-garde dance form that invites us into physical conversation - where listening happens through shared points of contact, balance, weight, gravity, momentum, and breath.
It’s a playful, deeply embodied way to...
Explore interdependence without losing sovereignty,
Share balance through constant change,
Trust the self and the other and
Be present to what emerges, moment by moment.

We enter the unknown together - held in a supportive, curious space.

Why come?
Beginners more than welcome, beginners encouraged!
Free yourself from limitations, forget to feel self-conscious, vibe
Experience a state of flow that connects you back to yourself and to others
Limited spots.
195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace
Come feel the music.
Come connect differently.

About Stranger Encounters 2025: A one-day assembly of interactive creative experiences.
Community development is at the heart of Stranger Encounters.

Set in the historic art hub of Pearl’s Hill Terrace, this one-day gathering blends participatory theatre, immersive art, and shared experiences that spark social connection.

Arrive as strangers, and through a series of creative sessions — spanning movement, storytelling, dance, music, technology, and ritual — and leave having shared moments of curiosity, laughter, and trust.

What begins as an encounter becomes a community.

Each session is designed as a doorway into connection: with yourself, with others, and with the vibrant creative community that calls Pearl’s Hill Terrace home.

Stranger Encounters is hosted by Stranger Conversations, 195 Pearl's Hill Terrace 02-38D, a public living room that makes space for conversations that matter, and nurtures creative ideas. Be part of our community.
