New Episode ~ Faces of CI: Conversations on Contact Improvisation

Our guests today are Sunny Zheng (Beijing, China) and Janice Chen (Berkeley, USA) — new graduate facilitators from the first edition of Momentum Contact Facilitator Training.

🎧 Reflections from both graduates on:

✨ Learning CI history & culture

✨ Building facilitation skills for safety and creativity

✨ Gaining confidence to share CI in their home communities

✨ Sunny shares: "I just completed the 10-day training with so many takeaways. It’s a journey about exploring my inner self and expanding the boundaries of my world. We learned the history and culture of CI, contact skills, as well as useful and practical skills to not be injured and dance safely. Not just dance but beyond the dance, helping us to become independent facilitators. Before this, I was not sure if I could make it, because maybe I don’t know how to communicate, but it happened naturally in the teaching, because of all that we learned here – with Aalia’s trust and guidance. This is more than knowledge, but confidence and support. I’m so lucky to be a part of this. I can’t wait to share this in my China Contact Community. If you want to be a facilitator, come and join us – it’s so worthwhile!"
