A few Quotes from Basics to Beyond participants 2023-2024 (quoted with permission).
“It was ideal for me, I’ll miss doing it every month (…) I felt increasingly more able to move in a way that felt good, my nervous system was so regulated by each of the days (….) I think this was the effect of your approach [and] the group who I felt really comfortable with as the months went on. The check-in circles and group warm-ups were also really helpful for reflection and feeling safe within the group.”
“Inspirational teaching in a supportive environment….I felt that the group dynamic developed really well.”
“It was good, I’d do it again. Liked the format, liked the facilitator, liked the music and the musician.”
“It was really nice to grow a trust in the group.”

Asher Levin
is based in Dartington and loves being and interacting with the land and elements. He’s been practicing Contact Improvisation, physical theatre, teaching and leading workshops for a quarter-century. He’s taught CI internationally since 2008. In CI, play and being, he loves the practice of trusting ourselves and others – even within the unknown, and re-seeing the known afresh for the first time. He loves old friends too. Being off-balance and free, yet focused and caring, as CI invites, is incredibly liberating and enriching. In CI, currently Asher is particularly interested in the interplay of spaciousness and intimacy, dynamic, tenderness and finding the unusual. He enjoys whole group scores and the partner or trio, within the social, physical and spiritual environment.
