For BIPOC dancers and movers — beginner-friendly (around 0 to 3 years of practice). All levels are welcome to join, supporting our ongoing research of CI skills.

Natalie holds a welcoming space for BIPOC movers to learn Contact Improvisation fundamentals. A facilitated warm-up will lead us into exercises that introduce Contact basics. Tuning to gravity and sensing with our whole selves, we will improvise with our many dance partners: the floor, the room, ourselves, and our fellow dancers. This class is an invitation to be in inquiry and creativity together.

You are welcome to drop-in for any class. While this series is not specifically designed to be progressive, material from previous weeks may be drawn upon in class.

No on turned away for lack of funds. Please email us at info@edamdance.org.
