We have Samuel Samways running a contact improvisation workshop from 6-7pm, then we’ll flow into our dance practice from there.

Brazilian performing artist with 17 years of experience in partner dancing. His research extends to acrobatic movements, floorwork, capoeira, contemporary dance, contact improvisation and the fusion of Latin American social dances, with an emphasis in Brazilian Zouk, Tango, Forró and Samba de Gafieira.
He is the creator of Mutual Leading, an improvisational technique that challenges the hierarchical structures traditionally associated with gender roles in social dance.
Samuel is the director of Terceira Margem, an art collective interested in the intersection between dance, theater and circus. He is also the creator of the dance festival MONSTRA – Festival de Dança de Salão Contemporânea.

SOULar sound aka Bretton (he/him) brings unique, diverse, and intricate balance to his sets. Expect a worldly instrumental journey with warm inviting vocals and groovy, hip moving beats.

Summer is a busy time! Our presence is so valuable. Thank you in advance for coming with your presence, attention, and intentionality. Whether we’re a small or big crew, each week is so special. The tenderness and compassion from all the dancers is so inspiring to me. We’ll have our full off-grid professional sound rig again this week to bring the medicine deep into our bones!

This week we’ve got me (Bretton) back on the decks! This summer has been full of different gigs for me and I’ve been busy in curating a variety of dance experiences which has allowed for so much growth. Thank you so much to everyone who’s been with me on the journey!!
