Emergent Improvisation

Facilitated and crafted by Troy Ogilvie and Omar Zubair and built from the teachings of adrienne maree brown (author of Emergent Strategy), Emergent Improvisation uses dance, sound, and environment to facilitate a deep sense of listening, creating an ecosystem of community care. Building on the concepts of iteration, fractals, and expanding possibilities, we engage in the act of futuring and world-building within the context of dance improvisation.

Hosting on a rotating schedule with Troy Ogilvie, Uila Marx, and Omar Zubair- Come dance with us! New time 2025- Fridays at 11:30am at Peridance and 4:00pm at Gibney
