Contact Improvisation Workshop with Mark Koenig, June 5


Flight Lessons

Saturday, June 5, 2010,  2- 6pm

The Phoenix Center
220 Main Street, second floor (Above Elmo's)
Ann Arbor, MI

Returning to an Aikido principle of redirecting energy, and using our partners’ weight and momentum to facilitate that redirection, we will explore flight, take-offs, weightlessness, descents, safe landings, balance and support.

We never get BEYOND the fundamentals. We can only aspire to master them.
