Get in Contact
How can we be at ease in an unstable and uncertain world? How can we train our bodies, hearts and minds to move safely but bravely through the unknown? How can we cultivate ways of relating more authentically to ourselves, others, and the whole environment in which we live?
Get in Contact is an invitation to explore these questions through the practice of Contact Improvisation (CI). Each session begins with a short warm up, followed by a workshop focused on fundamental principles and qualities that can be developed through CI. Ample space is then given to an improvisational format open to free conscious movement and experimentation.
Get in Contact is suitable for both complete beginners as well as more experienced people. Open-mindedness and mutual respect are the only prerequisites for participation. It is possible to attend individual sessions or the whole series. Diversity and minorities welcome and encouraged.

Conscious dance
As part of my current research on embodiment, I facilitate events where free conscious movement can be used as a cue to explore the functioning of attention, emotional intelligence and freedom. When movement flows spontaneously, it looks like dance, and when it is awakened by consciousness, it is conscious dance. Conscious dance is both a tool for exploring oneself and one's relationships with others, and the result itself of this exploration.
