Excited to announce that my Healtheir Hip Joints workshop is now available as an online course - you can explore it on your own time, whenever and wherever you like! The course consists of fundamental lessons, based on the Feldenkrais Method®, designed to bring awareness and greater ease to your hip joints, lower back, and overall functioning. I have found these lessons so useful for my own physical health that I am sure you will find them informative, pleasurable, and useful. The lessons were recorded during a live workshop, with a newly recorded introduction and short talk on the Feldenkrais.

The most interesting performances don't start with a finished idea — they start with a question.

This full-day workshop for engaged and curious improvisers is built around that premise. We'll develop scores for solo, duet, and group work, using contact improvisation and compositional tools to find structure that leaves room for the unexpected. By evening, we share what we've made — not a polished product, but a genuine look at creative work in motion. If that interests you, then please join me!

A creative laboratory for dancers ready to go deeper.

This full-day workshop guides experienced improvisers through building original scores for solo, duet, and group performance — exploring contact improvisation, composition, and authentic choice-making along the way. The day ends with an informal sharing for invited guests: unscripted, unpolished, and genuinely alive. Limited spots.

Here's a little video of Andrea and I dancing at our last Core Contact workhops (previously posted) - exploring following the point of contact and finding the flow. In my next workshop (6/27) we'll focus on weight and how that helps us connect deeper, and find more options in our dancing.

Open to all levels of experience - it's going to be a lot of fun!

One week from today at Pink House Studio in Riverwest, MKE.

Core Contact - just a bit over 2 weeks away - a workshop exploring the core principles of (c.)ontact (i.)mprovisation - a dance form which explores two people, in contact, communicating through touch improvisationally. It is one of the most exciting ways I've ever experienced movement and dancing with another person. It can be challenging, of course, and that's why I'm teaching these workshops series - let's dig into strengthening the foundational concepts and practices of c.i. so that our dancing can be connected, embodied, surprising, athletic, and joyful!

Happening on June 27th from 10-12:30 at the Pink House Studio in Riverswest, MKE.

Hope you can join me!

Core Contact Workshop - exploring how we investigate giving and receiving weight to help us find the flow, excitement, and joy of (c.)ontact (i.)mprovisation. Open to all levels of experience, we'll strengthen our fundamental c.i. skills, and explore the connective tissue of c.i. - following the point of contact. By committing to the core practices of c.i., we will increase our ability to be daring while staying safe, and keep the dance going and growing.

I hope you can join me on June 27th, 10-12:30, at Pink House Studio in Riverwest.

Join me NEXT SATURDAY for my workshop - Healthier Hip Joints - in which we'll explore movement sequences designed to unlock your hips' healthy range of motion, ease tension in the deep hip muscles, and help you find the difference between hip and lower back movement — a distinction that changes how your whole body feels and functions.
