I felt increasingly more able to move in a w ay 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 saf e within the group.”\n“Inspirational teaching in a supportive environm ent….I felt that the group dynamic developed really well.”\n“It was good\, I’d do it again. Liked the format\, liked the facilitator\, liked the music and the musician.”\n“It was really nice to grow a trust in the group.”\nA link to further quotes from participants in my CI worksho ps and intensives\, during the past year can be found on the event booking page.\ntickettailor.com/events/asherlevinevents/1189937\n(for all my othe r current\, live events\, go to TicketTailor.com/events/asherlevinevents\n Asher Levin\nis based in Dartington and loves being and interacting with t he land and elements. He’s been practicing Contact Improvisation\, physi cal theatre\, teaching and leading workshops for a quarter-century. He's t aught 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 i ncredibly liberating and enriching. In CI\, currently Asher is particularl y interested in the interplay of spaciousness and intimacy\, dynamic\, ten derness and finding the unusual. He enjoys whole group scores and the part ner or trio\, within the social\, physical and spiritual environment.
