Hosting Contact Improvisation Dance since 2014
on Salt Spring Island, near Vancouver on the west coast of Canada.
Together we aim at creating an organic, deepening, safe, thoughtful and embodied, engaging and restful, experimental and natural space, fun, nourishing time & space for all participants at all events.
Over the last 5 years we were visited by facilitators such as Martin Keogh, Anjelika Doniy, Andrew Harwood, Leilani Weis, Karl Frost, Alicia Grayson, Paul Singh, Ray Chung, Olivia Shaffer, Cyrus Khambhata, Neige Christenson, Sole Medina & more. Participants coming from every parts of the globe and many local dancers holding down the local flavour!
We value inclusivity & transparency.
Our events are for all experience levels, genders, sexual orientation, skin colour, ages and other physical differences.
-We acknowledge and are thankful for the lands and waters of Salt Spring Island which have been and continue to be home to Coast Salish First Nations and Metis peoples. We are grateful to the Cowichan Tribes, Saanich Nation, Tsawwassen First Nation, Hul’qumi’num Treaty Group, and the Hwlitsum Claim for this land to be danced on, in utter respect for it’s inhabitant and the ecosystem that nourishes us.
