Quand la danse nous traverse - Contact Improvisation & Composition Intensive

About this event

A four-day immersion in Contact Improvisation, Contemplative Dance Practice, and Composition, facilitated by Andrew Harwood and Stéphanie Gaudreau in a dojo set in nature in Québec's Estrie region. The workshop explores what happens when dance moves through us instead of being "done": loosening control, dropping technique, and letting a more subtle, sensitive intelligence of movement emerge. Mornings combine Contemplative Dance and Contact Improvisation; afternoons focus on real-time composition, building group synergy. Evenings are open, shaped by the group's energy (sharing, discussion, free practice, or rest), with a sauna and hot tub on site. Open to people with experience in improvised movement, Contact Improvisation, or somatic practices. Taught primarily in French, with English as needed.
