Is it possible for us to fly and fall without noticing much? Can the drift inherent in momentum compel us toward intuitive pathways above and along each other?

On APRIL 28th we will dig into CI through Dirt Work: physical training to expand, integrate, and ready our bodies in conversation with gravity and the earth. This is essential training for CI, and one of my very favorite body’s of work. It is the foundation for flight and for dynamic capacity in improvising.

It also prepares us for MAY 19th when we jump into Cloud Tectonics – work that aims to reframe our experiences of lift, loft, and drift. Detailed and buoyant exercises will guide us toward a dancing experience that feels full of abundant and radically free choice-making in vertical and spherical space for both ourselves and those we dance with.

In these workshops, instead of relying on each other, we imagine a dance we co-create amidst simultaneous independence and communion while in flight. Arrive prepared to sweat, learn, and play. Open to all experience levels. Some previous CI experiences assumed.
