Body Weaving is part movement laboratory, part human jungle gym, part collective nervous system experiment. We'll explore touch, weight, momentum, stillness, and the strange magic that emerges when curious humans choose to create together.

Through a series of playful, consent-based invitations, you'll practice listening to your body, discovering your edges, asking for exactly what you want, and delighting in the unexpected. We'll wander through a landscape of energies from mischievous to meditative and chaotic to exquisitely tender as we weave spontaneous sculptures, fleeting ecosystems, and moments of genuine connection.

Come if you want to laugh, be surprised, inhabit your body more fully, or discover what happens when imagination and consent start dancing together. Observation is also a form of participation. 

No experience required. Just bring your curiosity, your humanity, and whatever wonderfully odd creature you happen to be today.
