An Evening of Improvisational Movement: Support (with live music!!)

Join me for an evening of improvisational movement at Purple Lotus Yoga.
This offering is the third of a series of movement based, individual and group explorations I will be facilitating on Saturday evenings. This is a great opportunity if you’re looking for an intentional place to move and play with others in a safe space.
In this dance and movement exploration we will explore the concept of support both through a somatic and psychic lens, looking at support from individual and dynamic group perspectives.
How do we support ourselves in movement and stillness and offer that same support to others that we dance and move with? How can providing support to ourselves and others actually feed us creatively as individuals and a group?
We’ll explore some contact improv basics, have time for reflection and play, and finish the evening with some open, live music jamming!
You can expect the exercises that we explore together can be any of the following:
-playful/fun
-meditative
-introspective
-connective
-revealing
-challenging
We’ll use a mix of music to help guide us.
*note this is not a contact improvisational specific workshop
