What happens when the art of rope meets the art of movement?
Both Shibari and Contact Improvisation invite us into a deeper conversation with our bodies.
They teach us to slow down.
To listen.
To feel.
To become more aware of the subtle language that exists beneath words.
In this playful and experiential afternoon, we’ll explore the beautiful intersection between Shibari and Contact Improv, discovering how both practices cultivate presence, trust, connection, and embodied awareness.
Contact Improvisation is a movement practice built around listening, shared weight, momentum, touch, and spontaneous creativity. Rather than memorizing steps, you’ll learn how to respond to what is actually happening in the moment. Through guided exercises and playful exploration, you’ll discover new ways to move, connect, communicate, and trust yourself.
Shibari and rope offer a unique invitation into awareness, containment, trust, and connection. Rope can help us slow down enough to notice what we are feeling, where we are holding tension, and what happens when we allow ourselves to be supported. In a fast paced world, rope often becomes an unexpected doorway into presence.
This is playful, embodied temple where rope and movement meet.
We’ll begin together with guided experiences in Shibari and contact improv, exploring trust, communication, sensation, connection, surrender, leadership, following, and the delicious places where movement and rope can become a conversation.
Then the space opens into a Temple Party where you get to follow your own curiosity.
Tie. Dance. Move. Connect. Witness. Rest. Explore.
