Join me for "Ready to Give, Ready to Receive," a transformative Contact Improvisation workshop. Designed to share the fundamentals of CI, this class will give the building blocks of listening and weight sharing. We'll explore the nuanced balance between giving and receiving, focusing on the exchange of weight, energy, and intention. Cultivating a heightened awareness of your own body while learning to attune to your partnerโs movements, whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to Contact Improvisation, these classes will offer valuable insights into creating fluid, responsive connections and nurturing trust within the dance. Come prepared to move, explore, and engage with an open heart and mind.

As your host and teacher I bring 36 years of Contact Improv experience to share. Based in Greenfield, MA, I've taught across USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Europe and Israel. My teachings emphasize the importance of cultivating a deep and embodied sense of presence, as well as developing a compassionate non-judgmental relationship with oneself. My workshops and classes offer a space for individuals to explore movement and embodiment in a supportive and non-competitive environment, and are open to people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Over the last 15 years in my desire to integrate communication and intimacy skills in teaching and life I have studied Non-violent communication, Butoh, Byron Katie's "The Work" and Betty Martin's "Wheel of Consent". I have been both a teacher and a board member at Earthdance Retreat Center in Plainfield, MA where I co-directed the Touch&Play Festival for 6 years. I am a featured dancer in Sanford Lewis' documentary film about CI "An Intimate Dance." I also design and moderate the international Contact Improv resource website www.contactimprov.com
