Contact Journey: Contact Improv for Professionals

For everyone who is looking to explore the magic of movement and connection.

Join us for a contact improvisation workshop led by world-renowned contact improvisation teacher SCOTT WELLS. The workshop is tailored for all levels!

Contact improvisation is a partner dance form based on exploring the possibilities of touch, shared weight and discovering ways to fall, fly and flow together in dance.

Scott Wells will guide us through captivating exercises that he has honed over decades, in which we´ll discover how to let go of inhibitions and tensions that stand in the way of true connection. Learn with us how to feel the ground through your partner and attune yourself to both your body and those you're dancing with. 

The 3 hour workshop is followed by 75 minutes of Ecstatic dance in which we delve deeper into the world of movement and contact with others. We will have the opportunity to build on the practice from the workshop or just immerse ourselves in the rhythm of the music.

Contact Journey: Dancing Together

The weekend Contact Improvisation Intermediate workshop with world-renowned contact improvisation teacher Scott Wells offers a deeper dive into the practice of contact improvisation during both guided classes and free jam sessions. 

Scott Wells will lead us through a series of exercises where we will discover ways we can lean well into the ground and let it support us. We will build a stable and living connection with a partner that we can build on in lifts and flights. 

We will explore the mechanics of our bodies to understand and experience what are the easiest and most effective ways up. We may overcome fears of heights or loss of control, we may discover how to be a good support for ourselves and our dance partner. Scott will support us in safe and playful exploration of the air as another dance space and as a dance partner.

**The guided workshop will be followed by a free jam, which can be joined independently**
