CI Beginners Mind:
Fifty Ways to Enter the Dance
with...Moti Zemelman
A Full-day Saturday Workshop:
December 1st, 10am-4pm in Arlington, MA
Contact Improv isn't just a dance...© Levi Gershkowitz
It's a way of life!
Seeing, feeling, sensing, surrendering, directing, imitating, collaborating, breathing, contrasting, pausing, connecting!
"Become permeable to your own intuitions and impulses. Connect to your partner, connect to yourself, connect to presence. Every moment is an opportunity to enter the dance more deeply. Replace ambition with curiosity - Be a beginner... Always."
This workshop offers material accessible to both beginners and experienced dancers wishing to deepen their practice.
