The workshop includes a public performance on Friday, March 13 at 7:30 at 700 Main Street Wasteland Studios, featuring a collaborative piece with local contemporary music ensemble Wooden Cities.

The workshop will run from March 11 to 15 at Wasteland Studios. Facilitator Paul Singh will offer open discussion and practices on creating connections. After the performance on March 13, audience members are invited to stay, enjoy some refreshments, and join in on the discussion with performing artists of Diving Deeper. Conversations will revolve around the ways that practicing contact improvisation fosters strong, inclusive communities, both within and outside of the contact improvisation practice.

A short talk with the artists and light refreshments will happen directly after the performance.
