# Event Details - **Event Name**: Colours in Contact: Deepening the Dance Series - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 28 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Deepen your contact improv dance through scores, themes, trios, and wider compositional awarenessAbout this EventCome deepen your dance with us!On Tuesdays from April 28 to May 26, 7–9:30 pm, we’ll continue building on the foundations of contact improv while opening into more compositional awareness, creative responsiveness, and range in ensemble play.Deepening the Dance is a five-week series for dancers who have been through the intermediate series or have equivalent experience and who want to expand how they listen, compose, and create in real time. This series invites you to move beyond individual skills and into a richer relationship with the larger dance: with scores, themes, multiple bodies, and the space itself.Together, we’ll explore:Week 1: Games and scoresUsing playful structures and improvisational frameworks to open new possibilities, challenge habits, and expand choice in the dance. For example, we might remove the possibility of dancing with one limb, or work within a simple score that limits or redirects our usual options so new pathways can emerge.Week 2: Integrity and creative attunementExploring how to stay rooted in your own clarity while remaining open, responsive, and imaginatively connected to others.Week 3: Trios and ensemble dancesPracticing how to enter, leave, and sustain dances with more than two people, with attention to timing, listening, and group composition.Week 4: Exploration of themesWorking with thematic prompts to bring more depth to our dances. We may explore something that feels relevant in our lives - such as freedom, our relationship with money, or solitude - and let those themes shape how we move, relate, and build dances together.Week 5: Dancing with the roomWe will use props (such as a large medicine ball, fabric, and other objects) to explore dancing with the floor, dancing with these objects, and dancing with objects and another person, and moving fluidly between these different relationships in the dance.Throughout the series, we’ll investigate ways of deepening choice, awareness, and responsiveness in the dance and practice moving between personal impulse, relational listening, and group composition.✨ Bonus for all participants:Social time after each classFree access to one jam per week throughout the series so you can play, practice, and grow alongside the community (6:30- 9 pm on Wednesdays at 805 Dovercourt Rd or 3-5 pm on Sundays at 693 Bloor St W or in Trinity Bellwoods park once the weather gets warm)Connection to a wonderful and supportive community of movers!Coupon code CICSERIESCREW if you have already been through a Colours in Contact seriesAdvanced registration required for this series; no drop-ins.

She’s passionate about bringing people together, creating supportive spaces, and helping movers grow in confidence and creativity.Pablo, a Toronto-born mover with Guatemalan roots, brings a rich background in contact improv, muay thai, tai chi, yoga, partner dance, and authentic movement. His teaching is grounded in curiosity, play, and care, inviting dancers to explore what movement, support, and expression can mean for them.Together, they cultivate classes and jams that are beginner-friendly, inclusive, and rooted in the belief that everyone has a creative, expressive body waiting to be discovered.---------------------------------------About Contact Improv:Contact Improvisation (CI) is a partner/solo/group-improvised dance style developed in 1972 by Steve Paxton and Nancy Stark Smith, heavily influenced by Aikido and Modern dance. Due to the open-ended nature of the dance, each new dancer can add to this pot of creativity. This has lead to various influences weaving in and out of the form. Some of those influences include but are not limited to Tango, Zen, Zouk, Contemporary, Ballet, Hip Hop, Qi Gong, Capoeira, Ballroom, Salsa and the list goes on. This is the beauty of CI: it can offer such an open fertile ground for exploration in expression and movement. Your voice in this dance is what will drive the creative freedom possible at Colours in Contact.---------------------------------------Special Considerations:- Since Colours in Contact events involve a rolling point of contact and sliding, clothing that have zippers and buttons as well as jewellery are not permitted.
