Kellyn Jackson, Dance Improvisation
Using principles of contact improvisation, we will explore relating to ourselves, each other, and THE DANCE. How can we allow the dance to find us?
Kellyn is currently studying to receive her MA in dance/movement therapy & counseling. She’s taught yoga and dance for the last 6 years in a wide variety of settings-with children and adults, in India and Chicago, in healthcare and corporate America. She’s fascinated by the interplay and commonalities of these contexts, and delights in bringing play to adults, mindfulness to children, and the unexpected to the expected.
