Fill out online application form – outlining your background and skill level in Contact Improvisation, dance, and improvisation, and your reasons for wanting to attend. All registrations must be approved by Nancy.
The workshop will meet Monday–Friday, 10 am to 5:30 pm in studios at Earthdance, Plainfield, MA, (a beautiful dance retreat center located 35 minutes west of Northampton, MA, in the Berkshire Mountains), in town, and at an Aikido dojo. There will be some evening and weekend activities.
