Dress for ease of movement - soft, flexible clothing (long sleeves/pants) keeps you comfortable while rolling, leaning, and sharing weight. Shoes will be taken off at the door. Being barefoot is recommended & safer - it helps prevent slips and supports safer, grounded movement.
Free parking is available directly behind the building at 2412 Workman Street. There are two additional free city lots south of Broadway on Workman Street. There is also ample metered parking in the neighborhood, free after 6pm or 8pm, depending on the street.
What if relating could feel more like a dance? Join us for a special Fall Eastside Contact Improvisation (CI) workshop + jam designed for beginners and seasoned movers alike to connect, play, and discover new ways of relating through movement. This is a welcome space for queer, femme, and trans folx, centering body agency, consent, and choice.
WHAT IS CONTACT IMPROVISATION?
Contact Improvisation is a movement practice rooted in touch, weight-sharing, and listening through the body. CI offers powerful lessons for relationships and community: it teaches us how to deepen intimacy, cultivate resilience, and expand the ways we relate. There’s no choreography and no dance experience needed…just curiosity. CI offers practices that translate directly into everyday life and relationships such as:
❤️Attunement & listening beyond words
🧡Nervous system regulation & co-regulation
💛Welcoming tension and conflict as part of the dance
💚Finding ease and less effort through mutuality
💜Trusting intuition and adapting to change
