Listening & Agency

Taught by Gabrielle Revlock (she/they)

Restorative Contact is a mindful touch and movement practice. Working with a partner offers opportunities for attunement, gentle compression, and listening touch—inviting relaxation and connection with self and others. Come with a partner or choose one upon arrival.

In this somatic movement workshop, participants will be introduced to Restorative Contact, a mindful touch and movement practice developed and led by Gabrielle Revlock. Primarily floor-based, Restorative Contact invites participants to slow down, notice sensation, and listen to the body– tuning interoception, exteroception, and proprioception. Techniques that promote agency and mutuality will be offered, and we will practice the skills of gratitude and savoring, resulting in a deeper connection with self and others. Participants should expect to be in close contact with another person, engaging in mild to moderate compression, for the majority of the session. Students are encouraged to participate with a chosen partner or select a partner upon arrival. Beginner-friendly.

Gabrielle Revlock is a Bessie-award winning choreographer, dancer and the creator of Restorative Contact, a mindful touch and movement practice. Her research is published in Resistance and Support: Contact Improvisation @ 50 (Oxford University Press). She teaches CI for Movement Research in NYC and at festivals worldwide.

Contact Improvisation for Queers & Allies

Taught by Hannah Krafcik (they/them)

Queer-centered CI where technical and artistic research orient towards solidarity

This offering approaches contact improvisation as a shared language—a dynamic system of communication with infinitely varied expressions. What happens when we notice and embrace queerness with this language? What assumptions about our potentials, needs, and desires might we start to question or release—and what new grammar and syntax might emerge in our dances as a result? Through technical exercises and artistic research, we will explore how to listen to, communicate with, and support one another across intersections and differences. We will approach dancing together not just as a collaboration, but as a generative act of solidarity-building. Queer folks and allies are welcome; queer experience will be centered.

Hannah Krafcik (they/them) is a Portland, OR-based neuroqueer artist working at the intersection of dance and photography. Hannah is part of a group of queer contact improvisers who create performances and take turns facilitating the Queer Affinity Contact Jam in Portland, OR. Learn more: www.hannahkrafcik.com

Monkeying Around

Taught by Vania Fong (she/her)

This lab explores what we learn about a place, and ourselves, when we let our bodies explore it.

What do we learn about a place, and ourselves, when we let our bodies explore it? That's the central question of this loosely guided lab in public space where we engage with urban ""furniture"" and with each other. Inspired by ParCon NYC (now called Moving Rasa) and their inclusive experiments that occur in public space, this lab uses contact improv practices and playful curiosity as lenses to interrogate the physical and relational affordances and constraints in public spaces. What bodies, ways of moving, and activities do the spaces around us invite or exclude? What is it like to treat our spaces as another dance partner? How does being in public influence how we engage with each other and our surroundings? This embodied exploration is both a way of generating knowledge about the design of a place, as well as a form of placemaking, of building a relationship with that place.

Vania Fong is a dabbler and a nerd with experience in Chinese traditional dance, contemporary floorwork, K-pop, shuffling, swing dance and current interests in embodiment practices and contact improv. She believes that movement practice can and should be a revolutionary act and that our bodies are mirrors and microcosms of the world around us. She facilitates the Thursday jams in Portland.

Gravity Conversations: spilling, gathering and sharing momentum

Taught by Emily Jones (she/they)

This workshop explores how we can collaborate with kinetic energy and momentum.

Rather than bracing, controlling, or stopping movement, we’ll practice receiving and shaping energy already in motion. How does energy travel between bodies? How can we redirect force with subtle gradations of effort? Through movement pathways and open scores, we’ll cultivate dances rooted in responsiveness.

Our practice will include:
* Coordinations that spiral and unwind through the body
* Lifts that don’t “muscle up,” but arise from shared timing, alignment, and structure
* Moving to and from the floor with efficiency and clarity
* Creating reliable landing pathways
* Discovering moments of suspension, loft, and nuanced weight-sharing
* Developing skills in leading and following

We’ll focus on crafting dances collaboratively. Contact Improvisation invites us to cultivate somatic intuition—refining our ability to sense subtle shifts of weight, track a partner’s orientation in space, and expand proprioceptive awareness. At the same time, we deepen interoception: listening inwardly to sensation, desire, boundaries, and choice.
Together, we’ll build the skills for responsive, adaptable movement—dancing at the edge of the unknown with clarity, curiosity, and care.

Emily Jones (she/they) is a dancer, choreographer, movement educator, and bodyworker based in Portland, Oregon. Her interdisciplinary practice centers intuition, embodied learning, and movement-based research, with particular attention to community care, relational ethics, and communication within spaces of learning and collaboration. She has performed with numerous artists in Portland and the Bay Area and is engaged in a long-term artistic collaboration with Hannah Krafcik. Their interdisciplinary work has been presented nationally. Emily facilitates contact improvisation jams, organizes events, teaches and performs with the Queer Contact Improvisation Cohort based in Portland. She is a certified Axis Syllabus teacher and offers classes and workshops informed by this lens both locally and beyond.

Care, Connection, Consent in CI

Taught by Leslie Becknell (she/they)

Attending to yourself while building trust and connection in CI

Through playful exercises and shared reflection, we’ll explore awareness, attunement, and connection in Contact Improvisation. CI is joyful and can stir emotions—together we’ll practice ways to care for ourselves and each other while dancing.

Bring your curiosity—and the questions many dancers secretly have. No experience needed. A welcoming foundation for dancing together at the festival.

Leslie Becknell is a facilitator, actor, and deep listener who loves exploring dance. Drawing on work in organizational coaching, spiritual communities, and Playback Improvisational Theater, she creates engaging spaces for reflection and movement. Leslie blends interactive exercises, conversation, and somatic awareness to support authentic connection and shared discovery.

Touch Is Information

Taught by Sophia Ahmad (she/her)

In this workshop we will explore different qualities of touch and how they influence a dance. Touch is information, redirection, continuation, dialogue, language and subjective.

We will explore different qualities of touch and how they influence a dance, individually, in duos, trios, quartets & beyond. How does touch nourish and change you? Touch is information. Touch via the hands versus other body parts. Touch as continuation or redirection. What do we need to trust touch? How do we trust our own touch upon another, vice versa. Within the scope of touch and tone we will research our kinesphere, grazing, negative space, play, sharing weight & counterbalance, all informing touch dynamics. Our focus will be how to begin a dance via touch & how different pacing of touch & tone can offer space for a longer shared dance.

Sophia is a freelance movement artist, coach, capoeirista and CI practitioner. She currently teaches weekly Soft Acrobatics classes at Atrium Movement and will be premiering a new solo this July with Shaking the Tree’s Open Space Residency.

Rolling Inquiry

Taught by ara oshin (they/them)

Through guided practice and score-based shared inquiry, we'll build our personal and collective capacity to ROLL from various starting forms and planes. We'll expand the granularity of the influence of our bones in contact with the ground and the bodies of our partners.

Influenced by the Feldenkrais Method and other somatic modalities.

ara oshin (they/them) identifies their core teachers as: clay, rivers, and trees. a Multi-disciplinary Artist and Therapeutic Somatic Practitioner, ara's Cl teachings - influenced by The Feldenkrais Method, and other neuro-somatic pathways - offer opportunities to sense CONTACT in new ways. ara co-facilitates Portland's Queer Contact Improv Jams.

Tools for Ensemble dancing

Taught by Leland Hull (He/Him They/Them)

Tools and scores to help expand your dancing beyond duets.

Dancing with multiple partners can be intimidating, however when equipped with the right tools, ensemble dancing has the potential to expand our awareness, broaden our options for giving and receiving support, alleviate pressure, and offer alternatives to route movement patterns and dynamics.
In this class we will investigate how to negotiate entering and exiting dances with multiple people and how to attune to a multitude of partners to begin dancing in a group. We will look at how space, timing, and elements of composition can contribute to group dynamics. I will use visualization, conversation, structured technique lessons, and scores to offer some tools to help people feel empowered dancing with more than one partner.
We will be exploring a few tools that can allow for our dances to how is our support

I love contact improvisation. I started dancing CI when I was 21 and plan to continue for the rest of my life. I'm sure I will love a longer, healthier, and more interesting life because of it. I hope to share the knowledge I have gained in my years of learning, teaching and traveling and to continue being a life long student of this fantastic dance form.

Wednesday, 2:00-4:00

Integrated Play

Taught by Tiffany Mills (she/her/hers)

Come play! We’ll straddle the line between conscious engagement/joyous abandonment.

My workshop provides an in-depth exploration into Contact as a playground. We dive into weight, space, gravity, and momentum as tools to fly. We push boundaries, test extremes, and enjoy falling, in pursuit of finding a rich language and meaningful journey.

Class begins by bringing attention to our internal environment, working primarily with imagery and breath. From here we focus on tools to access weight, space, gravity, and momentum. We hone and sensitize ourselves to various qualities and states by bringing awareness to the layers of our body (skin, bone, muscle, organs, etc.). Special attention is directed to our senses—heightening all five—to become better at listening and dialoguing through movement.

In partnering, we demystify weight sharing by looking at the structural basics in the roles of “basing” and “flying.” We will delve further into anatomical structures, destabilizing movement habits and assumptions, while recognizing and nurturing different personalities and individual predispositions. I encourage risk-taking and resilience. I welcome unfamiliarity.

Class culminates with physically robust improvisations. We actively straddle the line between conscious engagement and abandonment, making space for movement and interactions that surprise and resonate. The hope is to create a community which welcomes joy and integrated play.

Tiffany Mills is the artistic director, choreographer, and founder of the NYC-based Tiffany Mills Company (2000-present), which tours nationally/internationally. Joining Lewis & Clark College as the Director of Dance in 2024, Mills returns to her Oregon roots and embraces a bi-costal presence.

Reaction Training and Falling Safely

Taught by Liam Pettee (They/them)

Acrobatics and Safe Falling Techniques

A workshop centwre around acrobatics and the art of falling safely. As well as tuning our reaction timing to help us be safer overall. This workshop will be a little over an hour long. We will work on solo acrobatics and being over our heads for the 1st half of the workshop. As well as train different kinds of inate reactions. The second half will be focused on partnering up and practicing controlled falls. Towards the last 15 minutes of the workshop, I'll ask those comfortable to practice some unexpected falls. Fair warning that this skill set may be a bit frightening at first, but we will all work together to make it feel a lot less scary.

Hello! My name is Liam. I'm a queer, non-binary movement artist based in Portland, OR. My primary movement practices are parkour and dance. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to teach a workshop this year at the CI +- festival. I look forward to sharing my skillset and helping you increase yours!

Pop Jam

Facilitated by Kat Freya (she/her)

A contact jam at the disco. Intuitive moment, improvisational scores, somatic inquiries, and popular music come together for an evening of play, curiosity, and togetherness! Providing just a hint more structure than a CI jam and a hint less structure than a workshop or class, Pop Jam is a mash-up that centers your body as the guide, a dance party as the place, and listening as the practice. We sweat it, roll it, dance it out! Sweat! Sing! Release!

Kat Freya is an artist, dancer, writer, yoga and Pilates teacher, and embodiment facilitator. She is co-founder of Peace Tree Collective, an artist-run organization whose mission is to empower people to process grief through creative expression within a hopeful community.

Action Theater: Embodied Imagination

Taught by Mary Rose & Nathaniel Holder (she/they, he/him)

For movers who want to talk, and talkers who want to move. Through physical, vocal and verbal games, we tune in to the body's inherent connection with imagination, creating improvisations that are alive with truth and oddities of being.

This is an introduction to Action Theater and how it integrates with CI. Action Theater, created by Ruth Zaporah, is a practice of improvisation that has its roots in physical theater, dance and meditation. Through tuning in to sensation, we hone awareness of the moment. Following what the moment asks for, we respond with movement, sounding or speech, creating performance that is less cerebral and more embodied. Exercises that focus on the elements of form, such as timing, tension, shape, etc, help us to increase our awareness of the details of our expression. Exercises that focus on imagination and relationship expand our ability to create story and discover meaning and connection. With a constant practice of releasing judgement and embracing what is, we achieve liberation from familiar patterns and begin to explore the vast array of possibilities available in the human experience. A strong sense of playfulness and exploration in the room leads to a feeling of community.

We have been teaching Action Theater since 2014 and teaching together since 2018, and we have been in CI since 1997. We are in our second year teaching at PCC Community Ed at two campuses and two class levels. Our Level 2 class just completed a successful performance of the Winter term. Our monthly Secret Seed Improv Salon will be celebrating a year of bringing diverse artists together to create spontaneous performances and magical evenings. We are regulars at Queer CI, Friday CDP, and Tuesday SomaSpace Jams. Our style of teaching is playful and welcoming to all, regardless of experience level. This work goes deep and tends to create a strong feeling of connection between participants. We believe in everyone in the room following their own agency and taking care of self and others, and we emphasize consent as the basis of relationship. We're experienced in conflict facilitation and engaging with issues of power and marginalization that may emerge.

Flux: a compositional practice

Taught by Quinn Gumbiner (they/them)

Constantly changing, building, discarding, remembering, forgetting, flowing in and flowing out. This class will explore tools for composition and contact improvisation as performance through collaborative score building and skill development.

This is an exercise in holding on to nothing, allowing for change, spontaneous emergence and letting everything end for something new to grow. This class will focus on composition in our contact improvisation practice. We'll play with compositional tasks to guide our improvisation, working with themes including how music influences our dance and ensemble dancing practice. Within these containers there will be opportunity to develop our technical CI skills. Performance (witnessing & being witnessed) will be explored as another tool for attending to our dance practice, rather than the product.

Quinn Gumbiner is a Portland based dancer and contact improvisation practitioner. Quinn received their BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase College in 2020. Quinn was a member of the Boulder Contact Improvisation Lab Core (2021-2023). Currently, Quinn is a member of the Portland Queer Contact Improvisation Cohort. They host jams locally, teach and perform. Quinn’s teaching practice is influenced by other dance and movement forms they have studied. Recently, their offerings have been led by curiosity to explore CI as creative and compositional practice in addition to a physical form.

What's Fascia Got To Do With It?

Taught by Sue Lauther (Sue)

Tuning into under-skin fascia, sensing consent and subtle directional invitations.

Tuning into the under-skin fascia can clarify consent as we begin moving with another person. Attending to this tissue can be used for directional and multi-directional invitations—helixes, lifts, dynamic horizontal movement. It can support how we control our falls toward the floor; how we hang or connect like Velcro; how we create an inviting, rather than ""bossy"" connection with partners, floor / earth and how we find unusual supports as we counterbalance with each other. We can advance beyond up and down sloughing and horizontal locomotion, and find juicier bonds, lighter-feeling weight and more playful ways of sharing movement.

Sue Lauther has over 35 years of experience practicing and teaching Contact Improvisation across the U.S. and internationally. She began in Eugene, Oregon in the late 1980s with Karen Nelson and Alito Alessi, and went on to study with the initiator of Contact Improvisation, Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith—one of Contact’s founding participants—and with Nita Little, Chris Aiken, Kim Epifano, Olivier Besson, and many others. Since 1991, Sue has been facilitating jams and teaching CI around the world, including at Earthdance (Plainfield, MA); the Emma Willard School (Troy, NY); Utah State University (Logan, UT); Taipei, Taiwan; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Amman, Jordan; Nelson, New Zealand; San José, Costa Rica; and at the Body-Mind Centering Conference (Saratoga Springs, NY). She currently teaches at Colorado College and Ormao Dance Company and serves as a core member of the Boulder Contact Improvisation Lab. Sue loves the metaphors that CI inspires—support, self-sufficiency, interconnectedness, and riding through the unexpected. Her teaching emphasizes avoiding injury, connection, and technical range. She invites dancers to practice agency while attending to others, negotiating the “Venn diagram” between partners that helps us dance with our differences authentically and expressively. Exploring permutations and variations cultivates nimbleness, responsiveness, and richer possibilities in times of disorientation.

Dancing the Continuous Body

Taught by Benjamin Korta (he/him)

Explore how the body’s internal continuity extends into space, partner, and ground. Through somatic investigations and dynamic partnering, develop clarity, responsiveness, and connection in motion. Open to all levels.

Floor beneath you, air around you, a hand at your back—where do you end and the world begin? To expand into the space around us while remaining unmistakably ourselves—this is the paradox we’ll dance. We’ll explore how the fascial web connects us internally—and how that same continuity extends into the floor, the air, and our partners. We’ll investigate how this dynamic balance of tension and compression (tensegrity) shapes our relationship to gravity, ground, and touch—and what becomes possible in both partnering and solo movement. Through somatic investigations and partner practices, we’ll follow these questions into motion—learning to stay rooted in our own momentum, choices, and sensations while opening to a wider field of connection. Open to all levels curious about the interplay of autonomy and connection in the dance.

I am a somatic educator and artist exploring the aesthetic, perceptual, and therapeutic possibilities of movement. Drawing on Body-Mind Centering, Butoh, Ideokinesis, Authentic Movement, and clowning, I guide students in both image-based and instinctive movement practices. I teach workshops in Asheville, NC and online and am a core member of DanceTheater Lab, bridging experimental somatics and performance. Previously, I co-organized a somatic movement therapy hub at The Mend Collective, connecting practitioners with mental health professionals through continuing education in embodied practice.

Beginning/Intermediate Floorwork

Taught by Kenny Frechette (they/he)

Floorwork is learning to move into, across, and out of the floor with intention as we dance. This class offers tools and pathways to help us move through low-mid levels with clarity and to discover new possibilities & curiosities in our floor-dance.

Floorwork is learning to move into, across, and out of the floor with intention as we dance. In the context of CI, it is a mode of training that allows us cultivate awareness, strength, and possibility as we navigate the ground in both solo and partnered improvisation. This class offers tools and pathways to help us move through low-mid-high levels in solo dancing with clarity. We'll workshop transitions that take us from standing to seated / laying down and vice-versa. A short sequence will invite us to piece things together, finding continuity in our floor-dance. Improvisation will give us a chance to lab and play with what we learn together. *Long sleeves, pants, and kneepads recommended.

Kenny Frechette is an independent performing artist and teacher based in Portland, OR. Their work currently includes solo & collaborative creation with peers, performance in various dance and body-based projects for stage/film/media, and regular teaching of dance and movement around Portland / the U.S.

Taught by Alex Chen (he / him)

Explore alignment, gravity, and effortless shared balance in movement.

This class invites dancers to explore the body’s natural intelligence through the skeleton as a foundation for movement and partnering. Rather than relying solely on muscular effort, we investigate how bones, alignment, and gravity work together to create ease, support, and shared balance. Experience with CI is suggested for this class.

Alex Chen, environmentalist, coffee nerd, trained as a professional dancer in Taiwan. Currently a dancer with Ku & Dancers, Freelance artist, and contact improvisation teacher. In addition to dance, he has explored various movement disciplines such as Yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, Tai Chi, and Aikido.
