Description: Contact Improvisation is what you make it. Make it magical! Come participate in physical and awareness practices to grow your toolkit. Together we will work to gain the foundational skills necessary to safely take risks and grow as CI dancers (and possibly as humans). Giving and receiving weight, falling and rising, and surrendering and instigating are some of the polarities we will work with, as well as the fierce sense of curiosity and play that make CI such a rich art form.
Bio: Fascinated by the body in motion (and at rest), Aaron has been teaching and performing dance for over 15 years, including long stints with LINGO dancetheater, Legendre Performance, and UMAMI Performance, which he co-founded with Aiko Kinoshita. He has performed nationally and internationally, is a treinel in Capoeira Angola, a father of two, and a lover of CI.
