Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'

I recently took part in a contact improvisation dance retreat. One of the activities was a twenty minute "intuitive movement" session. Each person took a space on the floor. While a partner assigned to you observed, you had to just let your body go or move however it wanted to without thinking. In that twenty minutes, I discovered a much deeper place of non-judgment and a new way to be completely in the moment.

More about you: (Short Bio or any other details you'd like people to know)

My main goal in life is not to live in reality, because reality isn't real.

I specialize in bringing people together through music, stories and dance. I currently own Oregon's largest drama outreach program, serving a hundred local schools with high quality theatre programs taught by professional theatre artists. I also just started "Ensemble," a corporate training firm that specializes in transformational team-building and leadership workshops.
