We're hosting Western Canada Contact Improvisation Foundation's 8th Annual Vancouver Contact Improv Festival, featuring classes run by Delia Brett, Joni Cooke, Anne Cooper and SCA alumnus Natalie Tin Yin Gan (顏婷妍), Francesca Frewer, Andrew Harwood, Arash Khakpour & Viktória Kaslik, the SCA's Rob Kitsos, Sashah Klapkliw, Selena La Brooy, Marie Osterman, Stuart Phillips, Manuel Rochette, Natalie Rousseau, Olivia Shaffer, Carmen Serber, and Jen Metta Smith.

Here's how WCCI describe the Festival:

"The festival has been curated to provide a fascinating breadth of material intended to offer something of interest to the professional dancer as well as to the contact jammers, flow folx, yogis, ecstatic dancers, somanauts and all those interested in embodiment and healing arts. Anyone who loves to move can find fascinating material in this schedule. It’s going to be rich and the opportunity for cross-pollination is unparalleled."
