NEST: Building an Improvisational Practice in a Burning World

Core Dance is excited to share NEST: Building an Improvisational Practice in a Burning World, offered as part of our LIFT Artist-Driven Residency with Faith Fidgeon and Isa Newport. 

NEST is an open improvisation jam, a space for shared creative exploration, curiosity, and collective presence. You are invited to arrive as you are. To come and go as needed. To witness, to move, to listen, to rest. Artists and non-artists welcome. If you’re thinking this isn’t for me, we gently assure you, it is.

Facilitated by Isa Newport and Faith Fidgeon, the gathering offers a light, responsive framework that supports both individual inquiry and communal presence. The jam begins with a shared opening that attunes the group to one another and to the space, before unfolding into open improvisation.

The three-hour container allows for immersion and fluid participation, an unfolding field where intuition, exchange, and creative responsiveness can emerge.

Artists and non-artists welcome. We would love to build this nest with you.

March 15, March 22, April 5, April 12, April 26, and May 3. All NEST gatherings will be held in the downstairs studio at 133 Sycamore St, Decatur from 12-3pm.
