VERMONT DANCE XCHANGE

​
Classic Thursday-Sunday Contact/Collective Improvisation Jam at The Field Center! Classes, labs, and open jams with Jennifer Nugent and Shira Yaziv!
Geared toward contemporary dance and performance artists living and working throughout Vermont, this is a weekend for artists, producers and teachers focused on new, contemporary and experimental work to gather, dance and share their experiences working within the Vermont dance ecology.
This somatic durational exploration is created and facilitated by Anya Smolnikova & Rose Cole-Cohen. Through multiple daily Group Shakes, guided movement, and supported rest, we will collectively shake up and nurture our sweet nervous systems.

A focused learning and practice space for basic, fundamental skills of Contact Improvisation. This is an ongoing series with Lilianna Kane. All levels welcome - beginners encouraged!
PANDA [Performance And New Dance Arrivals] are some of the longest programs offered at the Field Center and they are deep dives into living with one another as artists while training daily with established teachers in the field.
In this workshop, dancers will investigate how foundational principles of contact improvisation, including the dynamics of touch, moving support, yielding and reaching towards, collaborative improvisation, and perceptual tuning, can support inspired dancing. With Chris Aiken and Andrew Harwood.
