Dancing is most satisfying when there is congruence between our inner world
(psyche, energy, state) and its changing nature and the outer expression of
that through dancing.  As humans we have the capacity to experience a vast
range of states. In this workshop we will explore different body systems and
how they support different states and skills and effect the experience we
have of ourselves, our partners and our dancing. Working with different
systems we will discover more gateways to listening and possibilities for
connection/expression with ourselves and our partners in contact
improvisation.

Systems we will investigate include: skeletal, fluids, visceral, skin,
heart/circulatory and respiratory. We all have favorite systems from which
we live in and dance from. This workshop will open up more choices in
ourselves, our movement and our dancing with our partners. More choice
means more freedom to express our full range of humanness in our dancing.

Alicia Grayson will be the primary teacher and EE Balcos will be offering
some of his genius each day.

*Alicia Grayson* has been passionately involved with dancing, teaching and
performing CI for the past 26 years. She has taught contact improvisation
as an adjunct faculty at George Washington University, University of
Denver, Naropa University and Shenandoah University. She teaches CI, yoga
and pilates classes in Boulder and regularly travels both nationally and
internationally to teach. Her long time practices of authentic movement,
yoga and meditation are important influences on her dancing and teaching.
As a registered psychotherapist and certified Hakomi therapist she works
with clients in somatic psychotherapy and movement education. She delights
in exploring and discovering new depths to contact improvisation and
related disciplines and is particularly interested in the intersection of
physics and expression and the mind/body relationship.
