Wilder Ranch State Park
Santa Cruz, California
Contact Improvisation is one of my favorite ways to
engage Nature. Using the principles and perspectives of CI, we can achieve
greater intimacy, appreciation, and understanding of our place in the natural
world. Plus have a ton of fun with friends both new and old!
We will embark on a grand adventure together for the
afternoon. Exploring Upper and Lower Wilder Ranch, I'll lead a short
investigation of each environment plus offer tips and techniques for
engagement. Then movers will be free to explore and play together inspired by
the elemental forces of water, air, earth, and fire!
We start the day in a secluded cove with a sandy beach
and exotic fern grotto. We then head for the upper portion of the Wilder to
explore the support and shelter of centuries-old oak tress and other delights
of the hills and forests there. Our day concludes with some time for sharing
and reflection on the highlights of our explorations.
Meet at 418 Front St. at 12:45 PM and we will form small
carpools to travel together from there. Call 831-239-0321 if you need details
or more clarification.
