Contact Improvisation Fundamentals Intensive Sept 11 – 14

Join us for a Contact Improv Fundamentals Intensive at Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center in the mountains of NC! Take an immersive dive into the fundamental skills, concepts, and techniques of Contact Improvisation practice, and a solidify your foundation for a lifetime of play. It is a great opportunity to get your CI practice started for the first time or to deepen your engagement with the form.

The event is structured around the five 2.5hr intensive classes led by CJ O’Reilly of CI Groundswell and Toni Craige of the Living Arts Collective. Additional learning opportunities include watching videos of important practitioners, guided discussions, and jamming allow you to “take in” the form and understand your relationship to it in a variety of ways. There will be plenty of space for rest, reflection, informal connection, and time with (and in!) the river (very nice at this time of year)

All meals and snacks are provided and we can accommodate your dietary preferences. Abundant, locally sourced, and delicious!

Camping is included in the event registration costs. Campers have access to showers and toilets at the Mothership. There are guest bedrooms in the Mothership and an additional residential dwellings on the land that carry an additional cost.

Registration opens May 1st, 2025
