About the Facilitators:
Brenée Roussel: With a foundation in authentic movement and ecstatic dance, Brenee’s journey has been shaped by a deep connection to self and others through dance. As the first graduate of Cocréa’s facilitator training, she guides dancers to explore connection through the 6 realms of Self, Earth, Music, Other, Whole, and Community. Brenee emphasizes finding structure and form through the dynamics of lead and follow, creating space for flow, trust, and healing. Her passion is to help dancers surrender to the moment, connect authentically, and discover the magic of movement together.
Logan Gray: With over nine years of experience in Contact Improvisation and 3.5 years of teaching, Logan brings a unique blend of movement modalities that integrate somatic awareness, partner dance, authentic flow, and the principles of tensegrity. His background in massage therapy aids his lens of attuned touch and somatic mystery. His workshops are an invitation to explore the edges of growth and transformation through movement and partner connection.
