Teachers:
Michael Hurd
Contact Improv blew Michael's mind in the late 90's and he's been exploring
it ever since. He's interested in efforting less and flying more, and seeks
continually to bring an empty mind and a full heart. A childhood interest
in play, a teenage interest in physics and the lifelong joy of physical
contact found a home in his love of contact improvisation. The practice of
Zen Buddhism brought him to Asheville 11 years ago and he lived at two Zen
Centers for a total of 8 years. The spirit of bringing full presence to
each moment informs his approach to dance. Michael is also a practicing
therapist, with a Masters in Counseling from WCU.
"I like to explore shifting momentum rather than stopping it, and seek this
through some technique and a lot of play."
