Experiencing Interruptions?

Dancing With Myself

Dancing With Myself Project is a submission based project I compiled with dancers from around the world, many of whom are under lockdown in their countries during COVID-19. I put out a call on Facebook in April 2020 and received 50+ entries from dancing friends, many of whom are contact improvisation dancers I had met in the year prior travelling through Thailand, Bali, India, and Canada

Keep on smiling and dancing with yo-self, movement seekers.

Director Biography - Marriki Schlifer

Marriki Schlifer, (aka Aalia Hashem) is Contact Improvisation Facilitator and Dance Artist from Vancouver, Canada. She splits her time teaching and living between Canada and Bali. Her curiosity and love of dance stems from sharing Contact principles, delving into the socio-psychological aspects through reflective group conversation, creative improvising, exploring dance scores, and befriending the unknown. When not dancing, she is likely meditating in nature, attempting humor with her other improvisation love - comedy improv, reading/writing poetry, or petting whichever friendly dogs cross her path.
