Making Contact

This workshop provides an introduction to essential skills and helpful perspectives for the movement research practice known as Contact Improvisation, which is sometimes described as an "art sport" and an "athletic duet". Participants will learn practical ways to establish trust and build dynamic interactions with others, leading to joyful and exciting dances. For movers, dancers, yogis and other humans. All levels and beginners welcome.

Sebastian has been teaching dance and healthy movement principles since 2007. Originally from Santa Cruz, he recently moved to Copenhagen, Denmark and now teaches internationally. He is excited to share this workshop with the San Luis Obispo community.

Please bring a long-sleeve shirt and long-sleeve pants for sliding and partner work.
