To drop my weight and connect to the earth.\n\nI have been lear ning and exploring dance improvisation for 20 years now. Its been a long j ourney and I know that so much can be achieved if we give ourselves the sp ace and time to listen and follow our inner conversations.\n\nOur body’s are highly intelligent\, we just need to lear too listen and be danced.\n \nI have been teaching contact improvisation since 2003 and Somatic Yoga f rom 2010. I have a deep love of how the body moves and the genius of how o ur bodies are put together. I have done all of this\, despite living with the consequences of a continual disabling eye condition.\n\nAbout Lee: I w ork with movement and dance as an enquiry into the present moment. Fascina ted by dance as a metaphor for life I have used Contact Improvisation\, so matic movement\, non-stylised movement and self enquiry as a vehicle to ex plore on the dance floor life\, with freshness moment to moment.\n\nI have been dancing for more than 10 years. When I first discovered dance it led me to places I had buried\, contorted places I pushed away not wanting to feel or face. It has been a long long journey discovering just how far aw ay from myself I have lived. Every dance\, every movement session is an in vitation to myself to find and meet a little more of myself. To bring more of me to taste more of the world. To breath more fully and to move from t he inside and meet the world with interest and curiosity. This is my invit ation to you.\n\nFor updates about this and other CI events in Bristol go to www.contactdance.co.uk CATEGORIES:CI Class LOCATION:The Willow Studio\, St. Werburghs Primary School\, James Street\, Bristol\, BS2 9US\, United Kingdom GEO:51.4704;-2.57417 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St. Werburghs Primary Schoo l\, James Street\, Bristol\, BS2 9US\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X -TITLE=The Willow Studio:geo:51.4704,-2.57417 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
