Contact improvisation dance intro
Contact improvisation is a form of improvised partner dancing. It involves the exploration of one's body in relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness. It has evolved into a broad global community of social dancing around "jams" characterized by their welcoming attitude towards newcomers to dance, as well as seasoned practitioners, and is often found overlapping with ecstatic dance communities.
The workshop will give a small taste of contact improvisation with some basic exercises and then we will end with a small jam.

Practice your creative skills with colleagues during a painting session. We will choose a famous piece of art and invite you to paint your own interpretation of the motive.
