It involves following what makes sense for you while exploring gravity, momentum, & whatever is happening in the moment, including the physical & energetic contact with your dance partners. At times playful, at times meditative, dancers often share a shifting centre of gravity that can take them into a dynamic dance of lifts and rolls, or into a slow, subtle movement conversation. In this workshop we will explore some fundamentals of contact improvisation and create a dance about Holding the Line to be performed with Friends of the Floor to the soundscape of JoJo Worthington (performing is optional of course) at 5:45 PM. https://www.holdthelinewr.org/schedule-old daily 0.75 2017-09-12 https://www.holdthelinewr.org/our-supporters daily 0.75 2018-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502903739751-R9IOSRN7JQFOGTDIDS3M/Greenbelt_Logo_4Colour.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502903723789-E6S6L1021A3KB3KO48A5/M+logo+%281%29.jpg Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502904898781-GB27YFW453VPUY00NL4G/image001.jpg Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502903791293-96PHCFDSRG02Q9SL6T3P/KWAwesome.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502903934076-ZDUBXUJYF847ZJZ5F0DR/Borealis%2BB_W%2BLogo%2Bcopy.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502905146301-02LCHID3Y6SXB1NITQ12/Main_logo.jpg Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1523020950435-XJLVACUGPX4AFTK7G0FA/Waterloo-Kung-Fu-Academy-Logo.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502904058235-RQW7L86YNRYQJ9AF15Z2/barn_door_creative.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502904060079-N4XZW5FX2LI85XH8OYUM/mec_cmyk_registered_en+%281%29.jpg Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502904060111-ZCJMCB7F782DBTC8LQI3/ScaledPurpose-BW.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502904111134-TC9SGE0H6C07BAM41KBO/logo-black.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502905248833-K9A8UQPGPTC9WD7EXRX1/CommunityCarShare-Logo_Horizontal.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502905265558-IF77Y9D5ULZDDUVC7SI7/avocado-email-transparent.png Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1502905273145-Z9CHWYFOVYJXZ256C6U2/MuseumMRed-Black+%282%29.jpg Our Supporters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1523020856496-ML8FWXRDQIKCYHHC9FJV/lspirg.png Our Supporters https://www.holdthelinewr.org/media daily 0.75 2023-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/006d06de-3acd-4f8a-ae94-356cb53d9c26/Screen+Shot+2023-04-18+at+8.29.24+PM.png Media - Gearing up for next round in fight to save Greenbelt What is at stake is two million acres of farmland and environmentally sensitive land in southern Ontario.

Sam Nabi, president of Hold of Line, a nonprofit organization that consists of Waterloo Region enthusiasts and sustainability advocates, is firmly against the components of Schedule 10, and he was very happy with the positive reaction from local politicians.

Such assertions were challenged by Sam Nabi of Hold the Line, a group that promotes the Region of Waterloo’s countryside line that separates the urban and rural areas in the name of reducing sprawl and protecting farmland. The group holds an annual music festival in support of the cause. “The problem with Section 10 is that generally we don’t need it. Here in Waterloo Region, unemployment fell since we’ve adopted our growth management strategy in 2003. It is a very well thought out and collaborative document that sets out ‘These are the rural areas that we’re going to protect,’” he told Wellesley council. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1533611202056-H1L2JH580WOZR4SIOXHS/election-shutterstock.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1503450130873-QNDYNC4KH8C6R8TQ8WG4/summer-music-festival-bike-spotlight.jpg Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58e02fb059cc683151ab8c68/1503449717520-D6VMH9JNGVKAAEHTBWTU/Record+Article+Image.jpg Media Sam Nabi, left, Alex Szaflarska and Sean Campbell's new cycling and folk music festival will celebrate the region's countryside line and protect farmlands by encouraging a lifestyle that includes biking to St. Jacobs for fresh flowers. -
