Contact Improv Winter Class Series​

with Deb Grant

​

  • Biweekly Dates: 2nd & 4th Thursdays, January 22- March 12

  • Location: Maine Center for Taiji & Qigong, Portland, Maine

  • Time: 6:30-8:30 P.M.

  • Commitment: I encourage full participation in all four sessions to support your continuity of learning. However, as life can be full, I am offering these as drop-in’s as well.

 
What We'll Explore

 

These classes blend wisdom from Contact Improvisation, Body-Mind Centering, and UZAZU Embodied Intelligence. Rather than drilling technical skills, each class ventures into the more nuanced territory of discovering embodied support and authentic connection — within ourselves and with each other through movement.We'll focus on cultivating movement that feels whole and integrated in our own bodies, then expanding that awareness into the relational space we share. Together we'll investigate how principles like listening through touch, sharing weight, and drawing support from ground and space can enhance our capacity for sensitive, responsive partnering—essential groundwork for more advanced skills related weight-sharing, flying, and high-velocity or high-energy dance.

 

...Following Our Collective Curiosity!

 

Each session will have a guiding framework, but this series will bloom organically, shaped by our shared interests and learning edges. We'll create space for the questions, challenges, and insights that naturally arise in our practice together.

​​

All levels welcome- the principles we will explore can be accessed by beginners, and more experienced dancers will enjoy layering in these key capacities, to further enhance their dance.
