Jennifer McLeish Lewis of the Tomorrow Collective comes to Granthams Hall on the Sunshine Coast, Saturday May 31st to teach a contact improvisation workshop at Granthams Hall. Called The Aesthetics of Instinct, the workshop goes from 12-6, and the cost is $50-$65 sliding scale. To register contact Romina 604 989-1876/andabeat@spinningdrum.com

<strong>About the workshop</strong>
In this workshop we will explore moving in and out of contact with partners, codified techniques of the form (skills) and open dancing with self and others. We will move from the floor, to standing, back to the floor cultivating a sense of grace and flow. Touch is inherent in these practices, so come ready to touch and be touched. Boundaries are asserted and respected as we become more sensitive to one another's space, both energetic and physical.

Please wear comfortable, moveable clothing
