Contact-Fusion: Exploring Self, Other, and the Collective April 12th, Oakland

Welcome to our upcoming event, Everything, Everywhere, All at Dance, where the dance floor is truly utilized as a microcosm of life, and where the Contact Improv, Fusion, Ecstatic Dance and sex/kink positive communities can all play in the same space.
 
Join us for an evening of playful expression, in-depth explorations, and community-building as you indulge in your discovery process and uncover new pathways on the dance floor together.
 
We’ll start with a class Be and Maya, called, Contact~Fusion! We’ll traverse the intersection of Contact Improv and Fusion dance, which can actually feel fluid and not clunky like some folx experience when trying to merge the two.
 
So even if you’re new to either form of dance, you’ll be able to explore where these two different forms of dance meet.
We will also discover the possibilities of what a 4-person partner dance can feel like through the structure and form of Fusion, as well as the fluidity of Contact Improv.
 
We’ll then lead an opening circle to create the container for the evening of Everything Everywhere All At Dance, utilizing an incredible 5000 sq feet ballroom.
 
DJ Maya Light will be on the decks for this edition, starting off the first hour of music in your stereotypical Fusion fashion – fading out every song to mark the end of a dance, switching partners, then fading in a new track at the start of a new dance. And then she will shift to a seamless journey for the last half of the dance.

Maya Light

Maya Light is deeply enamored with the realm of creative expression, supporting others to access and explore the full range of this human experience. As an international DJ, she has adeptly honed the craft of weaving soundscapes for over 8 years, captivated by the tangible conversation she experienced on the dance floor.

She then delved into the art of curating intimate spaces, wholeheartedly embracing the transformative power of group fields as catalysts for unraveling and growth.

She also studied embodied anatomy at the School of Body Mind Centering, where she delved into a yin form of body work emphasizing safety and deep co-regulation, enriching her understanding of the interconnectedness of mind and body. Creating spaces to unlock and seamlessly integrate new pathways is her biggest passion.
