Contact Improvisation Class with Justin "Principles of Lifts", followed by Jam
Fri 20th Feb '26, 7:00pm – 10:00pm

We'll explore some of the core principles of lifting. Starting by focusing on the experience of lifting our own weight, and then moving on to some partner exercises with a focus on listening, consent and progressive weight sharing, We'll make space for ease, synchronization and fluidity to arise, rather than chasing the attainment of specific external forms.

Let your body call you back into yourself, into your most deeply embodied self. Land, dive, soar. Find the crumbs that lead back home.
