Wednesdays  Foundational Series Principles into Practice 5:00 - 7:00 PM      March 18 - May 13 9 week session at the Boulder Circus Center Open to All

The beginner series is for those new to the form and for those who prefer moving at a slower place to deepen their embodiment of the fundamentals. This class focuses on exploring foundational principles of the form. We will nurture physical, perceptual and communication skills so new possibilities of creative connection and expression can emerge through CI.

Specific principles we will put into practice:

  • Listening: to self, other and the environment and the co-creativity that emerges  

    Grounding: knowing where the earth is at all times, through our own and partner’s body

  • Rebounding: experiencing levity and spacial support and with that expanding choice

  • Improvising: not planning and saying yes to the moment that is unfolding

  • Integrating: Developing whole body awareness so our bodies’ intelligence is available moment to moment

  • Communicating: honoring our yes’s and no’s as a way to authentically open to the flow of the improvisation 

    $252 for whole series pd by March 8th $270 for whole series pd after March 8th $224 for any 7 of the 9 classes $35 drop in

SPRING 2026 CLASS SERIES

CI & the Ensemble Body Tuesday Intermediate/Advanced Class 5:00 - 7:00 PM co teaching with Gwen Ritchie March 17 - May 19 10 week session at the Boulder Circus Center. Designed for those with a solid embodied understanding of CI foundational principles. Permission from instructors required

This class series will explore CI skills in our solo, duet and ensemble bodies.

We will begin each class developing skills in our solo body then applying those skills to our duet and ensemble work. We will foster our artistry in improvisational compositional choice making that builds group attunement and collective creative possibilities. When we expand our ability to see/feel and allow emergent patterns to unfold we create something magical in the moment! 

Specific skills we will focus on include:

  • Embodied listening and responding 

  • Balancing grounding with levity

  • Telescoping awareness, micro and macro

  • Developing center and periphery fluidity

  • Moving with vertical, horizontal and spherical space

  • Playing with timing, stillness and movement

  • Exploring expanding and contracting spirals 

  • Modulating tone to meet the moment

  • Integrating simplicity and complexity

  • Leading/following, initiating/responding

  • Interweaving the senses of kinesthesia, touch, sight and sound

Tuesday class prerequisite:: This class is for those who have a solid embodiment of CI foundational principles and are interested in including ensemble awareness in their CI practice. Permission form instructors required.
