Unbound – Finding freedom in Rope Dance

Unbound is an exploration where you can discover new pathways of movement with the fluidity and flow of rope as a tool to connect to yourself and others. Finding the freedom in feeling unbound from all the ways we confine ourselves and open to boundless ways to play.

We will start off the evening with an hour long Rope Dance class taught by Brian O’Connell, followed by 2 hours of movement and dance with the invitation to integrate rope into your explorations. DJ Maya Light will be providing the soundscape for the evening, so you know it’s gonna be deliciously wompy…

If you are new to contact improv, we highly recommend you join us for the class so that you can learn some basics. Though rope play is the flavor of this particular exploration, it is merely a possibility to mess around with. After the class is over, you are encouraged to follow your desires however your body wants to move – with or without rope.
