About the Warm-Up

She started teaching the form on in 2015 and has now led different styles of classes and workshops on Salt Spring Island, in Victoria and in Nicaragua. As a teacher, Brianna is passionate about helping participants develop their internal attunement, somatic awareness, self agency, creativity and physical freedom in their bodies. Contact Improvisation has been one of the most healing, therapeutic and inspiring practices she has found in her life. Brianna is a Registered Acupuncturist, and will forever be a student of exploring what is possible in this body.

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.
