DJ: Ancient Fusion
Ancient fusion is a collaboration of Bear Meyers and Brayden Schmick performing under the Centre Sounds Label. Both musicians explore a variety of instruments over top of original dance tracks produced in Brayden’s studio. They draw inspiration from ancient melodies in a fusion with neo-jazz improvisation. These original pieces are crafted to induce a transformative journey.

Culture of Contact~ With Victori Violet
Victori Violet (she/they)
Victori guides group movement classes that inspire approaching dance as a shared conversation. Victori has been dancing since birth and facilitating movement containers since 2018, including Tuesday Dance Jam, Ecstatic Dance San Diego, and traveling the country teaching contact classes in DC, Austin, NorCal and SoCal; festivals and Ecstatic Dances alike!
Her workshops have been described from following testimonials:
“Victori is a magnetic squishy gravitational puppeteer”
“Victori’s class inspired me to connect with others in life and on the dance floor through safe contact.”
"Victori's impact extends beyond borders, and her dedication to creating a welcoming environment makes her my favorite dance partner. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a transformative and enjoyable dance experience.”
Workshop Description:
Culture of Contact!
In this workshop we will discover different nuances, languages, meaning and momentum of contact improv by viewing an ecstatic dance floor as a community conversation.
We will use a trauma-informed/neurodiverse perspective to address:
Tuning in (reading and merging energies with someone in dance form)
How to initiate and end a shared dance (navigating non verbal consent from neurospicy lens)
Lifts and weight sharing (how to support and be supported ((also how to bail safely))
As well as how to navigate polytics (poly-politics) on the dance floor!
