Festival Season is Upon Us

We are so excited that the sun is back, the days are long, and the rivers are plentiful.

This summer season will find us sharing our skills and passions at festivals all over Aotearoa.

After an incredible month in Montreal diving deep into the pedagogy and practice of AcroYoga with the mesmerizing and awe-inspiring AcroYoga Montreal crew, Jen will be focusing the next few months on sharing her movement inspiration.  

To start things off, over five fabulous days of camping and playtime over New Years 2020, Jen will be teaching workshops at the Mix festival, one for beginners, and one for finding your creative flow.  Come discover new ways to twist and push and balance and play!

More AcroYoga soon after, at Nelson's infamous Evolve festival, January 24th-26th

And then she'll be heading up the north island to one of her favorite community festivals, Voices of Sacred Earth at Kawaipurapura Retreat Center

And to top it all off, Andy will be leading a Contact Improv Workshop: Exploring Place and Inanimate Partnership, at the Conscious Dance Aotearoa gathering, here in Motueka.

So much movement! So much goodness.

See you all there!!

 

Spring has arrived!

And we have been busy!
Moving from cozied up winter mode into the full burst of Spring and Summer planning!

So far we are planning to bring our community-creating body-based playshops to Under the Spinfluence, Luminate, the Nelson Lakes Contact Improv retreat, Biophilia, and more!

In the meantime, we've been busy moving to Motueka and starting to create community here, and Jen has been busy organizing workshops and gigs for the Motueka Arts Council, face painting, and teaching silks.
Here's a glimpse of the fun we've been having:

Motueka Arts Council's Winter Arts Workshops

Lots of change has been in the air these last few months and the dust is finally beginning to settle.  And with that, we are emerging with more goodness in store!

We will both be facilitating workshops through the Motueka Arts Council's Winter Workshop program.  The Arts Council strives to find innovative artists to lead workshops that are affordable to the wider community and we are honored to be a part of it!

Jen will be leading a Stencil Making workshop (check out the monkey below!) in the tradition of cheap art and street art, and Andy and Jen will be co-facilitationg a Labour Day Theater of Liberation workshop.  There are lots more awesome artistic opportunities happening through the workshop including Mask Making (Commedia d'el Arte style), Maori Sacred Stance (with Matiu te Huki), Steampunk jewelry, Oamaru Stone Carving, plus a concert involving local violin virtuosos!  Come join in!!
