Playful and Integrated Movement Training
Gentle Beast
Did your ancestors do push-ups? Where does strength and fitness training come from? This workshop revitalizes physical training so that it integrates the whole body, laying the foundation for life-long strength and mobility that organizes the human animal. Part of Sebastian's Agile Beast series and suitable for all levels.
Making Contact
Are you curious (and excited?) about Contact Improvisation? This workshop focuses on essential skills and helpful perspectives for the movement research practice known as CI, 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 are welcome.
Please bring a long-sleeve shirt and long-sleeve pants for sliding and partner work.
