Megan Bridge- Widening the Circle: Composing Somatically #2
Saturday 10/18/2025
1-2:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street
DESCRIPTION: Widening the Circle, a movement improvisation class open to all levels, is an invitation into movement, mindfulness, and presence. Choreographer and performer Megan Bridge’s performance, teaching, and research centers around consciousness & attention in the embodied, moving self. This class will guide students to heighten perception and use all their senses, accessing their own phenomenological experience and using it as the very material of their own performance. Formal dance training is not required, but participants should be comfortable in their bodies and, ideally, have some kind of regular physical practice.
Megan Bridge’s teaching draws on her own decades-long investigations into bodywork, somatics, dancing improvisationally, and her intensive study with masters of improvised dance such as Brigitta Herrmann, Steve Paxton, Lisa Nelson, Deborah Hay, Manfred Fischbeck, and Merian Soto.
