Each session begins with an physical progression designed to build heat, strength and stamina, preparing your body for mind-bending phrase work that has you navigating unexpected shifts in size, direction, tone, texture, perspective, and imagined scenarios. Keeping up with VIM’s choreographic work, you will dive into space-eating actions that move seamlessly onto and out of the floor, blending acrobatic techniques with contemporary movement.

You will hone in on the skills needed to read your partner’s body and energy, learning when to release control and when to direct the flow, finding perfect moments to transfer weight, judge distances, and ride shifting trajectories through space. 

It’s a high-stakes game of listening, responding, and connecting — both with your fellow movers and with the deeper, unexplored parts of yourself. Collectively, we will create a space where robust physical research fuels a living, breathing fantasy — a kind of wish fulfillment in motion. Effort, surrender, transformation, and full-bodied research are waiting. come get lost and found and lost again.
