Deep listening, consent, self awareness, and play are integral parts of this dance form that will be highlighted at each jam. Every jam will include a mini class, open space to practice the form, and introductory lessons for those interested.

This class comes out of many years of movement study, curiosity and play. It weaves together my somatic leanings, movement improvisational scores, contact improv, authentic movement, contemplative dance, dance boot camp and fiercely dancing-my-ass-off-in-the-club.Original music compositions, pop-culture songs, and abstract sound weaves through each class. it is a mash up encouraging entanglement. It moves you and the class is moved by you.

Must pre-register. Let's figure out how to do this together.

Earth /Sky with Tahni Holt

Saturday December 7th // 10am-11:45am

$15-$30 // REGISTER HERE

Earth/Sky focuses on sensitivity practices through somatic inquiry, improvisational movement scores and Contemporary Alexander technique principles. Earth/Sky goes deep into inquires of grounding and gravitational support in one’s being. In Earth/Sky we swim into practices of embodiment where we sensitize into places we may be holding ourselves up, back, and/or in, and ask can we find movement through the cracks, can we rest into presence? Can we listen in on the dark recesses of our unconscious patterns? Can we integrate these practices in our everyday lives? Expect waves of rigorous movement exploration alongside slowed down sensorial capacity building practices. Prompts offer a starting point for exploration to facilitate new ways of moving and being. All are welcome, no prior movement experience needed.
Masks are optional.

$15-$30 (no one turned away from lack of funds)
 pre-registration required

MONDAY NIGHT PLAY with Tracy Broyles and sound by Adrian Hutapea

December 9th // 7 pm- 8:45 pm // $10-$30 NOTA.

Info and sign up here.

Monday Night Play is a space to come together with somatic and energetic guidance, movement improvisation, live musical accompaniment, and community. This monthly event is facilitated by Tracy Broyles (movement), and Adrian Hutapea (music.)

Our time begins with an inquiry of the monthly theme. September's theme is Abundance. Where do we make choices from? Do we have choices around our choices? What role does our body play in guiding our decisions in a moment to moment experiment? During Monday Night Play we move into a collective practice of improvisation, we give the themes room to bloom or die through a movement score with live music. We will finish with a deep relaxing meditation. It is a playful journey into curiosity and intuition, response and action, embodiment and deep tending.

Come as you are..

Trio A(1966) is often cited as the seminal work of post-modern dance. True or not, it is a provocative and challenging historical work that continues to be relevant to subsequent generations because of its physical ideas, unyielding rigor, and unusual performance tone. As a 20+ custodian of this dance, it is part of my job to make sure that individuals have the opportunity to meet and experience this work with their bodies. This workshop will offer this opportunity. I will place Trio A in time by sharing some writing about it we warm-up, I will then perform it once, and then we will dive into to learning it. My hope is to teach about a quarter of the dance and then play with witnessing/performing the work with/for each other in small groups.  Performers - It is a fabulous tool for working on attention, pacing, presence, clarity, temporality, coordination. Come Play!

Pre-registration is required. Limited to 15 participants.  REGISTER HERE
