234 Contact Partnering & Contact Improvisation for Grades 6-12

Explore how to introduce contact partnering to beginners in grades 6-12. Although the practice sounds challenging, no prior experience is necessary for this session.

The session ends with an open jam where participants apply the tools of contact improvisation and enter performance space freely.
