Megan will be teaching at Bodies of Empowerment
Partnering and Contact Improvisation

November 20th, 2024

Wednesday, 6:30pm-8:30pm

The Joe Goode Annex

401 Alabama Street San Francisco, CA 94110

 

In this class, you will be invited to explore some of the abundant possibilities of dance partnering through a blend of contact improvisation scores and technical weight-sharing exploration, focusing on giving and getting support when moving with others. We will dive into some dynamic lifts, finding seamless ways of flowing into and out of them. Moving on to contextualizing, we will spend time developing our own original movement ideas, and sharing them with each other—sensing, shifting, supporting, seeing, and being seen. 

Testimonies About Teaching

Empowering to Try New Things

“It’s so rare for me to see my background reflected in movement instructors. The safe container cultivated through the gentle buildup of warm-up exercises and explicitly practicing verbal cues of boundary-setting empowered me to try new things and go beyond my usual notions of what I can and can't do. I also appreciated the presence of many POC helping me feel less like an outlier.” 

Wonderfully Constructed

"I’m still riding high from the experience and joy I felt being back in my body. I’m already looking forward to July’s workshop and wondering how I can get involved more and more. Thank you again for such a wonderfully constructed workshop. You’re a gem!"

Tangible Physical Support

"Megan incorporates a contact/partner counterbalance technique that feels so powerful, I still think about the people I leaned against and what that tangible physical support feels like."

Testimonies About Teaching

Fostering Respect

"I liked how we, as a whole group, were encouraged to foster respect, appreciation, and friendliness throughout the session."

Inclusion
Nature

"Loved the inclusion nature of the class, the diverse dance experience and backgrounds of participants. Excellent teacher!"

Clear Instructions

Loved Megan's class! She gives clear instructions and allows for the group to get comfortable with each other, which is very important for contact improv. Her pacing was perfect for all levels, and I felt like everyone was invited to do what they needed."
