Meet your facilitator:
JP Frank (they/them) is based in the land of the Salish Kootenai, now known as Missoula, MT, where they facilitate weekly Contact Improvisation classes. They have been a devotee of CI since 2014, and are influenced by their studies with teachers from all over the world. JP's inclusive teaching approach is clear, creative, and full of juicy drops of inquiry all shaped by a decade of facilitating somatic meditation, trauma-informed movement trainings, and multiracial community dialogues on power, identity and social change.
