Immerse yourself into sensorial textures and landscapes at the edges of contact improvisation with Jamus Wood, where movement becomes conversation and the rope enriches every whisper of sensation. Senses sharpen, roles shift, breath thickens, and touch gathers into a quiet language that pulls you deeper into the dance.
Our day at the edge of Contact Improvisation, begins by Grounding ourselves in contact improvisation and cultivating our attention inward and outward, so movement wells up from listening, from breath, from the body’s own inspirations.
Once we are tuned to the groups collective body, we’ll draw from Shibari. We’ll begin without ropes, exploring relational sensation through weight and compression, binding/unbinding, held/free. From here we will meet the rope Ichinawa (one-rope) to deepen into resistance and surrender, stillness and breath, gravity and flow.
We’ll conclude our day with an exploratory jam, allowing space to integrate what we’ve explored and to express ourselves freely, weaving our individual journeys into a collective tapestry of creativity and joy.Join us in this supportive circle of explorers. Together, let’s celebrate the borders of Contact Improvisation with Shibari, deepening our connections through movement, trust and shared discovery.
