I can either drive or catch a ride with others. Sounds like it's the hardest to catch a ride back Sunday. Please let me know if you have space for Thursday eve and Sunday early evening ish. 206.414.9448 Cere http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=1#comment-19 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 22:10:29 +0000 http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=1#comment-19 I'm driving over on Thursday after work, around 4:30.

Exploring entrances into moving dancing and how we become attuned and embodied just before entering. What are different types of entries? 2. Receptivity - looking at sensory awareness, back spaces, and exploring peripheral vision. 3. Group Improv: Identifying the most compelling idea in the space and committing to it. Letting go as a new compelling idea emerges. Dialoguing about what makes an ensemble contact dance compelling to watch. 4. Redirecting weight and momentum: exploring how to accept and deflect/redirect weight that we ultimately can only hold in passing. Being able to say yes to someone else's weight/momentum while protecting our bodies and using our body structure to support the exchange. http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=2#comment-16 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:14:02 +0000 http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=2#comment-16 1.I am inspired to lead a lab around the theme of "Saying No in the context of a CI Jam." I propose brainstorming all the ways we can think of to say "no," all the synonyms we can think of for "saying no," and then I'd facilitate some scenarios & exercises around this theme. This could be a one or two hour process depending on the amount of people involved. 2. If the interest is there, I'd be willing to lead a follow-up lab on the theme "Entering and Exiting." Using a couple scores I would introduce a bunch of different options for entering & exiting, leaving it open-ended for participants to discover more on their own. Again, a one or two hour process depending on amount of people. 3. I'll be available for a few individual 1/2 hr. mentoring sessions if anyone wants to work on some specific skills, or just dance and receive constructive feedback. By appointment. 4. Again, by appointment, I'll be offering some free individual Feldenkrais lessons ("Functional Integration.") Probably two per day. I'll have a sign-up sheet. http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=1#comment-15 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:46:39 +0000 http://centrumjam.phffft.org/?p=1#comment-15 I'm looking for a ride back to Seattle Sunday. I'd like to stay for as much of the dancing as possible.
