Wonder Phallen
About
Wonder Phallen started movement improvisation in 2001. In 2004 they began training in martial arts, developing kinesthetic awareness of self and other bodies through space, and in 2011 began social dancing, deepening their understanding of partnership, connection, rhythm, floor craft, and consent-based practice. In 2015 they received a bachelor's degree in communication, dance, and leadership from Western Washington University and began teaching Fusion and Contact Improvisation locally and internationally, including holding a weekly jam in Bellingham for two years. They continue to study Butoh, aerial arts, clown, yoga, and movement theater, emphasizing presence, authenticity, and practices including Authentic Movement and group composition.
