[magoo]

*Come learn the **Fundamentals of Contact Improvisation with Travis & Laura,
followed by a two-hour contact jam! *

*Wednesday February 24, 6-9pm
Yoga Studio & Well Being Centre
65/1 Arak Rd, Chiang Mai*

Contact Improvisation is an exploration of the physics of bodies moving
together in space. In the class, we will introduce some of the fundamental
principles of the dance - giving and sharing weight, moving in and out of
the floor, rolling point of contact, and finding dynamic structures in the
body.

The one hour class will be followed by an open jam. All levels welcome to
jam, though beginners and those new to CI should come to the class
beforehand, which will start promptly at 6pm.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and remove any belts or jewelry that
might hurt others.

Please help us spread the word and invite your friends! RSVP
