CI Dancers at the Ottawa CI dance jam: Ken, Kia, Isabelle, Barbara, AnneMarie, Ian, Marcia
Dancers who pursue graceful movement must practice being aware of their bodies and being aware of wordless communication. These skills are particularly important today, when we spend so much time sitting and in virtual realities. Our way of life has taken us further from our own physical experiences and the understanding of the wordless emotional messages of others. For example, contact improvisation makes the dancers listen attentively to the body of their partner. Touch is known to reduce pain, fear and anxiety. http://www.helsinki.fi/en/news/health/a-dancers-brain-develops-in-a-unique-way

Explore the joy and creativity of group improvised movement in a weekly drop-in class in Group Movement Improvisation on Monday evenings in New Edinburgh. All adults welcome (drop-in); no registration or experience required. Led by Lola Ryan. (This location is not wheelchair accessible.)
Movement Improvisation is exploration – you can explore what you like to do in dance and in movement. It frees you to be as daring and creative as you wish. This is not a contact improv dance class, though safe touch and elements of contact improv are usually incorporated as we improvise to music.
Lola opens each class with a specific warm-up and then focuses on a movement technique or a way to open up your movement vocabulary. It could be an exercise on vision or balance, a unique way to create shape or pattern, or the best way to connect with a partner or partners. The class always concludes with an open dance space where you are free to create your own movement experience, in solo, in duets or as an ensemble. Music courtesy of Lola!
We invite you to come and have fun on your way to learning new skills and enhancing your dancing and movement with other people. Regular drop-in class fee $25 for 2.5 hours. (Student rate available – talk to Lola.)

Attend weekly bilingual (English/French) drop-in Biodanza evening sessions led by Anne Marie Riel (613.316.8118).
Biodanza is a non-verbal practice for the participants. You do not need to speak either language to participate; you only need to listen.
Biodanza, meaning to dance with life, is a fusion of music, natural movement and emotion. It is a method of human development aimed at uncovering the passion, beauty, and love for ourselves, others and the world that was always there. Reconnect with the pleasure of movement and celebrate life!
Biodanza…
- increases our health and consciousness
- improves our physical and emotional well-being
- enriches the quality of our relationships
- integrates thinking, feeling and acting
- develops our potential for living full, radiant lives
Come discover Biodanza; you don’t need to know how to dance! Through dance, play, and the joy of being authentic, Biodanza reduces stress and awakens a zest for life. All adults welcome!
Why choose to do Biodanza? Because through dance, play and authentic movement we awaken joy for life, fun times and the sensation of an overall well-being. Because Biodanza is a group practice, we meet new and authentic people.
Biodanza is a movement practice based on biological principles and when practiced weekly can lower our stress level and have a positive impact on our overall health.
Biodanza proposes inspiring music, without any moves to learn but instead an invitation to go to your own beat, progressively and is adaptable to certain situation (ex: a physical injury).
Biodanza is an adventure at the heart of life itself. It is a hymn to the life that beats inside each of us and allows each day to day gestures to be sacred!

Gaga/people classes are taught by dancers who have worked closely with Ohad Naharin. Gaga/people classes offer a creative framework for participants to connect to their bodies and imaginations, increase their physical awareness, improve their flexibility and stamina, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere.
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. It is advisable to bring a bottle of water and a towel for use after class. Sign in is 30 minutes before class and cool down is 15 minutes after class
Early Bird Tickets limited to 10 students only.
What is important? And what will we do about it?
Life and death are not opposites. They dance mutually embraced, interwoven and inseparable. Coming and going is the great universal dance, performed moment by moment.
We fear and avoid death. Shunning death makes it into a monster for us. It is not a monster, but our shunning makes it one.
Our practice in this movement workshop, as in our lives, is to face and befriend death. Let us turn against the river of our habits and allow death to have its rightful and powerful role in the GREAT DANCE.
Please confirm the date and time with the organizers.

Transformation Playground Dance Bring Spirit to Life in Body, Mind and Heart at Espace Renêtre, Gatineau QC. Register via the above link.
Transformation Playground Dance In Gatineau, Quebec:
With a group of like-hearted others, you are supported to meet your experience with loving presence, and give your Self wings to dance, express and play. We begin with a welcome activity and embodied integrity practice, followed by 50-60 minutes of dancing.
The Transformation Playground dance journey starts with a simple warm-up to connect you to your breath and your body: part by part. As we warm up, we are asking, “how are you now?” to each part of our body, and listening to our body’s response through sensations, impulses about how we move, ideas that come through our minds, etc. Since there is no “right” way to do it, you can’t do it wrong! Your practice is to honor your experience first and foremost, opening your curiosity and enjoyment as we move through the dance together.
The theme is inspired by an ancient meditation called Cave of the Heart. The silent meditation consists of journeying into our own hearts with gratitude for how each aspect of the practice is reflected within and around us: earth, water, fire, air, space, small self, the moon and the sun. In the dance journey, you will be gently guided to move along with a playlist with one song each dedicated to the eight aspects of the Cave of the Heart meditation. Each gathering the playlist is different, as are the prompts to move, dance and play which may be solo, in pairs, or with the whole group.
The movement time completes with relaxing quietly or stretching as you choose to integrate your experience; followed by a closing circle where we sit together, and people are invited to share a word or phrase or sound that matches their experience of the dance that evening.

Come to Tribal Waves, a 5Rhythms workshop in Carleton Place with Lynne Adams at Total Rhythm Dance Studio, 55 Lansdowne Ave, Carleton Place, Ontario.
The human tribe. A day devoted to reconnecting with our roots, remembering our belonging, & coming together in unity with our uniqueness.
Grounded in the body and set to the beat of our feet, we’ll move with the shapes of presence, the power of witnessing, the generosity of support, the clarity of common intention. We’ll investigate separation, solitude & loneliness and turn them inside out to find solidarity, harmony and community.
No previous experience needed, just curiosity and a commitment to exploration.
5Rhythms is a movement meditation practice that fosters a greater connection to yourself, others and the community through an embodied exploration of presence.
Lynne Adams is an actor, mom, friend, lover, chocoholic and certified 5Rhythms teacher. She trusts that coming home to our bodies in a compassionate and creative way is key to healing this world, one step at a time, one dance at a time.
Come to Time Diamonds, a 5Rhythms workshop retreat in Wakefield/LaPeche with Lynne Adams at Gaia Wellness Retreat, 209 Chemin Usher, Wakefield/LaPeche, Quebec.
Treat yourself to a weekend immersion of making time - for yourself, for connecting with nature, for replenishing through ritual, art, play and movement. The 5Rhythms guide us as we let the daily grind slip away and expand into different definitions of time. Grounding ourselves in a woodland setting we reconnect to our true nature and dive into the deep beauty of our lives.
A jewel in the Gatineau hills, Gaia Wellness Retreat will embrace us in this exploration. In the midst of tall forests and abundant wildlife, it offers fresh vegetarian meals, a wood-fire sauna and a pristine lake. Lodging is in shared modern wood cabins. We’ll move in a cozy dance space, a bonfire meadow, a grassy amphitheatre, a sandy beach and on forest paths, all the while mining for those Time Diamonds.

Playing with Courage, Compassion, Consent & Inclusion
Touch&Play returns to Earthdance in July 2018. Registration is open now.
We welcome a diverse community of dancers and somatic visionaries. This is a festival about play, vulnerability and building community with embodied, emotional, and erotic intelligence. It takes courage, compassion and consent to play truth or dare with integrity. Sharing one’s truth is an act of intimacy. Being daring is about getting outside our comfort zones. If we want something we’ve never had before, we have to do something we’ve never done before. This is a space to explore our personal, tribal, and societal desires! What can dance, somatics, tantra, kink, Contact Improvisation, and communication practices contribute to our intimacy?
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” -― Albert Camus
Contact Improvisation can be an act of freedom and revelation! Let’s pull back the veil, expand our edges, investigate how our patterns and attitudes may limit us and try on new versions of ourselves. We continue to question the relationship of “chemistry & physics” in CI through movement, touch, intimacy, communication and connection to radical truth.
Touch&Play festivals have a history of exploring the edges of what CI can be while maintaining high standards of safety and consent, and are known as events in which personal and communal celebration and growth reach new levels.
We believe that major change can and does happen when we give ourselves time and space to recognize our growing edges and feel safe enough to explore and expand them with ourselves and within community. Touch&Play aims to both provide a profound space for honesty, celebration, joy, discomfort, clarity, growth, and acceptance. It also is a time where consent, choice, and self-care come first.
What happened last time? From Touch&Play 2017 at Earthdance comes this Are you ready for Liberation? video by Zahava (“Z”). At Touch&Play 2017, Zahava led an intensive dealing with The Intimate Act of Creating Performance Ritual: Exploring Kink, Gender Expression & Devotion See descriptions of all the 2017 Touch&Play workshops.
The annual Sutton Summer Dance Jam happens near the USA border 120km south-east of Montréal in Sutton Québec.
Come for dance, pond swimming and sauna playing outdoors and night bonfire singing. Hear the roosters crow, horses gallop and frogs croak. Sleep in cabins, the big house or tent in the orchard or forest. Your summer dreams come true.
Contact Marilyn Bronstein for details.
