DJ: Heather Christie & Vir McCoy
Heather Christie is a trailblazer: DJ, producer, vocalist, songwriter, mentor, music label founder, and mama, Heather Christie is on a mission to usher in a new wave of feminine musical creators. She went viral in summer of 2023 with a video of her breastfeeding while DJing at Spiritweavers Gathering, and has been featured in dozens of publications including Popculture magazine for the story of her pioneering the crossroads of motherhood & music. She has been collaborating with headlining festival producers as well as producing her own music for over a dozen years, and has become a staple on ecstatic dance floors around the world with her viral track 'Tincture' (with KR3TURE). Her mama-focused label Möonbabe Records is on a mission to uplift mothers and women in music. You can hear Heather’s songs around the world on dance floor, in commercials, and on the winds of inspiration. The live set is an eclectic, booty-shaking blend of global genres, and is a deep and heightening emotive journey of presence. Heather artfully weaves in her own original music + voice as well as features live collaborators such as her husband, Vir McCoy, on ethnic instruments.
Contact Improv meets Zouk: Brigitte Wittmer
Brigitte is a movement alchemist and dance artist who bridges global dance traditions, with training from Broadway Dance Center and Faculdade Angel Vianna. Her expertise spans contemporary dance, Brazilian social dances, somatic education, and transpersonal psychology.
More than an artist, she is a facilitator of personal discovery through her pioneering Liquid Leading method. This approach reimagines partner dance as an intuitive dialogue that expands beyond traditional dance constraints, inviting dancers to explore movement as an intimate, responsive conversation.
Her work creates transformative spaces where movement becomes a powerful language of authentic self-expression, emotional intelligence, and deep personal connection.
Brazilian Zouk Embodiment Flow
Dive into the possibilities of Liquid Leading layered on the flow of Brazilian Zouk. Join Brigitte for an experience of guided exercises in leading, following, and what lies in between. A dance language with the freedom of ecstatic dance and synchrony of partner dance. Find the evolving magic dynamic with each partner, building specific techniques for a continuous two-or-more-way communication. Transform your world into an endless dance playground!
Opening Circle & Meditation: Tyler Blank
