ABOUT CJ’s Lab

All movers welcome. Movers will exchange ideas, words, and movement phrases, pulling from their informal and formal movement backgrounds, leading up to an improvisational/movement score, all while moving in community.

We will start each session with a luscious yoga-inspired warm-up incorporating a body scan or attunement meditation, designed to awaken the body and mind, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves, the space, each other and the present moment. Once we're tuned in, we will delve into a writing and movement active meditation, oscillating between the two, writing through what we move through, and moving through what we write about, or simply practicing both. Each class will revolve around a different theme, which will vary, incorporating stage elements like lighting, sound, senses, props, and site-specific settings to enhance our creative process

As the class progresses, we'll combine our shared ideas and movement to develop an improvisational/movement score. This score will serve as a loose structure for our explorations while leaving room for spontaneity and individual expression. Together, we'll immerse ourselves in the joy of moving in community, feeding off each other's energy and ideas.

Class will end with an integrative meditation and sound bath, leaving room for restoration and embodiment.

Each invitation in this class is an offering, with ample modifications and room for participants to take what resonates, and leave the rest.

This class is 2 hours long.
