Collective Effervescence: Contact Improv Retreat
Gather for the first Contact Improvisation Retreat at Dreaming Stone’s new dance space and retreat center in the mountains of WNC with special teaching artist, Brad Stoller.
We will relinquish the small self and unlock healing with theatrical play, authentic movement, and most of all – Contact Improvisation!
We will explore the unique stories living within our bodies, and expand our capacity to move with the larger stories we collectively inhabit.
Discover new creative tools in intensive workshops led by Brad Stoller, deepen your practice in open jams, and luxuriate in the sonic richness of live music with Chinobay. Enjoy opportunities to dance with and bask in Dreaming Stone’s beautiful land and be nourished by delicious and healthy food!
