Rooting & Climbing

InterPlay Contact Movement
Marty Roddy

St. Paul, MN

Monday, January 19, 7p - 9p

InterPlay offers a unique approach to movement that allows trained dancers and un-trained dancers to deepen their experience of improvised contact dancing. Using the incremental forms of the InterPlay system, Marty will lead the group through an exploration of how to dance with bodies of differing sizes and shapes, how to feel your stregth and how to feel your lightness. No emphasis will be put on lifting or being lifted. We will focus on rooting our strength in our skeletons and climbing to hold our own weight off the ground. Some experience with InterPlay or another form of contact dance is recommended.

Cost: $15 ~ Don't let money stop you from coming!
