Togethering is an emerging series of gatherings for people drawn to movement, creativity and shared practice.
Rooted in Contact Improvisation and open to wider forms of improvisation, each offering explores movement, listening and collaboration in different ways.
Some gatherings are shorter and more open.
Others are focused and more immersive.
This is the current programme for 2026.
You’re welcome to explore what feels aligned.

If one of these feels right, begin with a simple application.
From there, we’ll be in touch with more details.
We’re interested in people who are willing to participate, contribute and engage with the wider approach.
We aim to keep the work accessible, and no one is turned away due to financial limitations.
If now isn’t the right time, you’re still welcome to stay connected as future offerings take shape.
