About the Warm-Up
Arunima will be leading this week’s warmup. She will guide dancers though an exploration of connecting to the space, oneself, others, sound, silence, everything, nothing, and on and on… Emphasis will be placed on curiosity, expanding awareness and PLAY. 🙂
About the live music Jam
Grady Hewlett will be our guest musician. Dabbling on the keys, he’ll improvise soundscapes through a deep listening and attunement to the space and each of the dancers in it. Sound and silence will be our oscillating and contrasting dance partners throughout the jam. What will you notice?

Event Etiquette
Please enter the space in silence. Before speaking, ask yourself: “Is what I’m discussing deepening my dance or distracting from it?”
Our intention is to create a safe, consensual, open, fun, and playful space grounded in deep listening and awareness. We invite you to bring generosity and respect into your interactions. Consider: What am I bringing to this space? How can I support myself and others? Am I being trauma-informed in my interactions?
Safety Policy
Zero tolerance for: predatory behavior, non-consensual touch, sexual advances, or any ambiguous intimate physical touch. This is not a space to pursue romantic or sensual exploration.
If anything inappropriate is witnessed or experienced, please speak with Michael or another facilitator. Your concerns will be handled confidentially and with compassion.
