Depth Labs

For experienced teachers to dive in further on topics related to CI teaching together in a collaborative and exploratory way. To develop new approaches, exercises, scores, or formats within small and highly skilled groups. To create and draft and experiment within an “exquisitely pressured” environment and share discoveries with fellow teachers.

Pedagogy Track

For teachers to build or refine a solid pedagogical foundation. To practice teaching, receive constructive feedback, discuss practicalities and logistics of teaching/facilitating contact improvisation. To expand on one’s strengths and develop one’s growing edges. To gain confidence and self-identity as a CI teacher.
