August 16-24
Wild Meadows Improvisation Intensive 2003 - Schellsburg, Pennsylvania USA

FACILITATORS: Alicia Grayson, Martin Keogh and Cyrus Khambatta
DATE: Sat. 16th-Sun 24th, August (classes run Sun. through Sat.)
DESCRIPTION: 

Located in a lush valley at the base of the Allegheny mountains on 200
acres surrounded by rolling hills, meadows, lakes, forests and farm land,
The Wild Meadows Farm and barn-studio sits between two quiet ridges
inviting creative contemplation and movement discovery. This year's
Improvisation Intensive will include study of contact
improvisation/release technique, composition and perceptual awareness and
Yoga, while tasty homemade food will nourish our bodies. 
Through Yoga we will use the principles of sthira (alert and awake) and
sukha (comfortable and relaxed) to connect us to our vibrant core.
Through improvisational dance we will examine how to connect to our deep
well of personal imagery, finding the strength of one's own presence and
inner stillness as a source of inspiration and realizing the expression
of our multifaceted being. In contact, we will focus attention on the
details of sensation and work on skills of receptivity and
responsiveness. Integrating these three approaches we will awaken our
dancing, open our aesthetic palette and find new sources from which to
draw. 
The daily schedule will include a warm-up, two class sessions and a jam
session. The day will be divided as follows: 
Morning Yoga with Alicia Grayson 
Afternoon Contact with Martin Keogh 
Afternoon Composition and Perceptual Awareness with Cyrus Khambatta 
After dinner jam
Group discussions will further investigation of the material covered (See
article by Cyrus in May issue of CQ for example of subject matter).
COST: $465 (includes food, lodging and class fee - $100 deposit due date
extended to July 31)

Travel is not included but rides can be arranged with others coming from
the nearby cities of Washington D.C. New York City, Philadelphia and
