Teaching Contact Improvisation Workshops and Classes

I've recently taught three workshops in Contact Improvisation in the UK in Bristol and Stroud, Gloucestershire.

Who are you dancing with? Visible and Invisible Forces and Relationships in CI

Contact Improvisation, The Underscore and Being Ready to Dance

Thank you to Simon Leach and the dancers of the Bristol Contact Improvisation community and to Sophie and the dancers at the Stroud Contact Movement for hosting me. 

What people say: 

"Absolutely brilliant" – Sadie

"Like Sadie, I’d say brilliant, and the word that kept coming to mind was ‘gold dust’… I felt like we were the privileged recipients of very new, fresh, and essential material that was, quite literally, a revelation." – Rebecca

" A special thanks for your special presence, wisdom and teaching at the Bristol workshop. My take out was a newcomers appreciation of the value of form in dance (and in life) and a new curiosity into the pros and cons of the use of discipline in the creation of form. A lot to think about but (mostly) a sense of awe at the beauty and grace that emerged from the group and from the individuals in the space that you so expertly curated with your own beauty and grace.’  Phil Thomas

“You have presented the material in a way that is both rigorous and accessible. You have provided students with a very solid foundation and have pushed them into new territories. I was amazed at how comfortable they seemed with weight sharing and physical contact at the end of the workshop. Your stable connection to your own presence and your commitment to the teachings enabled students to encounter and overcome their own discomforts. I believe that the work you have done with these students will be an important source of learning for each of them and will greatly influence their work throughout the next year and their transition to university. Thanks again.' Eric Kupers, California State University East Bay, USA

“I had my first taste of Contact Improvisation dance during a workshop led by Juliet. It was a transformative experience. Her teaching style is inspiring and her depth of knowledge is extraordinary. ‘  Damian Manu

"It was a fabulous lesson this afternoon. Well paced and meaningful instructions that taught me something about my relationship to the land, the sense of movement and playing well with others. Thanks.’  Clare Szabo
