# Event Details

- **Event Name**: MOVEMENT LAB
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: MOVEMENT LAB — come and explore • play • feel • dance • connect — a space to be in the lab of moving your body and of dancing alone, and together. Dance has connected us as humans through space and time for eons. Come do some with us!!

All skill levels and self expressions welcome. 

Lab, as in laboratory 
— A SPACE TO MOVE and experiment for the sake of experience, with no expected skill set or outcome. 

Details (SHORT)
Tickets: $15 each, plus the divided cost of renting the space (on the day)
When: FRIDAY 8 MAY, 7pm-9pm (doors open 6:45pm)
Where: Dragon Mill — Level 1 Gresham Street, Adelaide (just off Hindley Street in the city) (Such a cool space. I love the vibe here!)
Bring: Water bottle, (optional, not necessary: knee pads)
Wear: Long sleeves clothing - pants and shirt. (See note below for more on why)

Please arrive on time! 
It truly does matter, firstly because you and our presence matter in this space — and  secondly because each invitation intentionally builds on the last, conversations about consent and how to move in a way that minimises injury or brings awareness to your body in particular ways are had and set the scene!

PARKING: IF you are driving in - please allow an extra 30-50min to find a park and walk in; finding parking has been an ongoing challenge for people arriving on time, so allow plenty!

Details (LONG)
Think of this as a laboratory — a space where we experiment for the sake of experience, not to reach a particular outcome or skill level.
It’s not a workshop in the formal sense, more of a play space. Each session has a natural flow, informed by who is there and what comes up as we go, exploring with  gentle guidance. The floor is the space for exploration, connection, and experimentation with yourself and with other humans.

NOTE: This is NOT traditional contact improv, although this is a space where I’d like to explore the concepts and skills that create the foundation for contact improv, I want it to be a space where we explore on an ongoing basis how movement and moving together can help us connect to our own body and with others. 

What we’ll explore — 
Mutual consent
Movement, play, and games as relational themes
Partnered play and individual exploration
Weight bearing and sharing
How to enter and exit connection
Following the energy until one or both feel complete
These nuances feel fun and exciting and necessary to me often coming on the dance floor often when I dance with others.

Why, you ask...
Something happens in us as humans when we dance with someone else. When we everyone is willing to get playful and try new things and find new ways of moving …something magical unfolds. There is connection, invitation, play, a surrender and a dance that literally becomes the sum greater than its parts.
It’s freaking magic.

It can help build trust, with oneself and with others… That’s what I love about this kind of movement: it has a language all its own — the language of dance, of touch, of play, of deep felt sense and body knowing…all rolled into one that once a foundation is established often doesn’t need words but is deeper and fuller than what I could ever speak with words.
Hence — MOVEMENT LAB — a space DEDICATED TO MOVING TOGETHER! — to explore all of this!

A little more about long sleeved clothing — 
This was a weird thing to me when I first showed up at contact improv, but I wish someone explained it to me. Because wearing long sleeves in Bali considerably improved my experience. Even and especially when I was all hot and sweaty!!
Long clothing allows you to slip and slide and move freely along the floor, which in and of itself is a cool experience. It helps  the body from floor burns, bruises, and scrapes, allowing movement flow more easily.
Fabric-on-fabric move smoother than sometimes slippery or sticky skin-on-skin and keeps you warm between slower and faster movements. It also helps the body be seen as a neutral canvas — reducing sexualisation and deepening focus on the movement itself.

KEEN but apprehensive. I get it, this is an edgy way to move and connect, if you’re wondering if this space is for you or feel like you wanna talk before you come along, reach out. I’m here, and I’ve been there in my own journey, watching from the outside and longing to have the confidence to join in. 

All skill levels and self expressions welcome.

I’m so freakin excited to move with y'all. 

Your little dancing Fiona ✨??
