Description
About the weekend
Over the course of 2 days (Saturday 29- Sunday 30 March), we will journey together into this wonderfully spicy mix of play, connection, experimentation, sensuality and empowerment – learning to see ourselves and each other in new, surprising and inspiring ways. How did this all come about? Skye and Roy met inside the play fighting circle, and their first contact was an intense physical play fight, full of energy, humour and fun. That moment planted a seed, and that seed grew into this weekend – an intimate and exciting mix of Fusion dance, Contact Improvisation and Play Fighting. Skye and Roy bring together their passion, experience and skills to offer a unique, exhilarating combination of embodied consent, movement, dance and martial arts practices.
What can you expect from this weekend?
- Learn the basics of Fusion dance, Play Fighting and Contact Improvisation
- Improve your consent and safety awareness in self-movement and contact with others.
- Be challenged to discover, define and communicate your boundaries.
- Make authentic connections in a supportive, conscious and sober space.
This is for you, if:
- You have a good understanding of and/or willingness to learn more about verbal and non-verbal consent practices.
- You have experience with some dance, movement and/or embodiment practices.
- You have experience of conscious, sex+ play spaces and feel comfortable in spaces that include intimacy, sensuality and sexuality.
- You feel comfortable interacting with folks from all genders and backgrounds. While personal choice and consent is paramount to this weekend, you’ll have a much nicer time if you are generally open to dancing, playing, chatting and cuddling with everybody.
