SEA INSIDE
A Contact Improvisation Intensive
with Martin Keogh

March 20-21 - intermediate level
March 22 - advanced level
- Saturday 11am-6pm
- Sunday 1pm-7pm
- Monday 10am-4pm
We will settle into a base camp of mindfulness, and then set out to investigate the wilderness of disorientation.
We will enter the forest where there's no trail, jump into the dark, swim into a cave, and build a tolerance for waiting in the unknown.
Join good company for dancing and discovery. With games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention.
We will explore
- Moving from a base of sensation
- Dancing with a shared central axis
- Seeking ease in going off balance
- Finding the spontaneous acrobatics of the form
- Spending more time in nuance, disorientation, and extended follow-through
