This workshop will take place in Studio B at Fringe Theatre Adventures. Contact improvisation is a way to dance through touch, developing somatic skills to release the body, and to communicate with gravity and other humans.&nbsp; Contact improvisation is a curious proposition using personal boundaries and confidence as well as trust and impulse. It can be very playful or meditative, and is an excellent way to develop dance skills. Gerry Morita (BA Dance/ MFA Theatre), (she/her), is from the rolling hills of Rex, Saskatchewan, and lived and worked in Vancouver, Montr&eacute;al, and Tokyo as a dancer, choreographer, performance artist and teacher before arriving in Edmonton, Treaty 6, in 2001. Her work involves continuous inquiry into new ways of seeing movement, the body, and the spaces between us. She studies and teaches contact improvisation, Noguchi Taiso and other somatic-based and improving techniques, working with artists from all disciplines in a vast array of both conventional and site-specific venues. Gerry has experience with disability. CRIPSiE membership is required for this event.
