Join us as we welcome Emily Liptow as she holds space for the next installment of our Movement Incubator series: The Space Between Us: exploring connection, touch & consent.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down and explore how we meet one another—through attention, movement, touch, and choice. We’ll begin by connecting with our own bodies through simple movement and attunement to felt sense. We’ll engage in simple, guided movement explorations that emphasize listening, responsiveness, and mutual care. The focus of our movement is not about what things look like, but on noticing sensation, boundaries, and the subtle ways connection emerges between us.

Participants will be supported to:

- Discover ways of moving that feel embodied—led by sensation rather than instruction
- Explore touch as a conversation, guided by consent and curiosity
- Practice asking, listening, and responding to “yes,” “no,” and “maybe”
- Engage in the dance of connection, where movement, touch, and attention unfold through listening and response

Facilitated by emily liptow, movement artist and facilitator based between Cleveland and Durham NC. This workshop draws from her experience with contact improvisation, ensemble theater, and somatics.

Open to all with a curiosity about movement and connection with others. No prior dance experience needed. Options will be offered, and you are welcome to participate at your own pace.
