Saturday, April 22 11 am - 12 noon
Speaker's Corner (King
& Benton) to Your Kitchener Market | FREE
April 22 is Earth Day and we are invited to slow down and heighten
our sensibilities to the connections between all things, including ourselves
and this place where we live. And just as the slow tortoise cannot separate
itself from it's shell, neither can we separate ourselves from the Earth.
The walk will begin with a brief guided meditation at Speaker's Corner at
Benton St. and King St. and will carry on very slowly down King Street to
the Kitchener Farmers Market where displays will be set up for Earth Day.
The walk will be followed by a Moving Meditation Jam for anyone who wishes
to do their meditative movementpractice (eg. tai chi, contact improv dance,
yoga, etc.) on the patio space at the front entrance to the market. Wear
comfortable shoes and earthy colours. Pack lightly.

What IS Contact Dance? ...or contact improvisation as it is often called, is a meditative dance with gravity, momentum, & everything else that is happening in the moment, including the physical & energetic contact the dance partners share. It is a whole-body practice in the subtle art of collaboration.
