Notes on the Schedule:

For information on presentations and classes, goto Presenters

For information on the structure of lab time, how we divide into work groups, and how we propose subjects, goto Labs

While dancing can continue past 10pm, the quiet hours at the hot springs are 10pm to 10am, and our activities should reflect that.

We will have 3 work spaces available to us (two 1500 sq ft parachute tents w/ vinyl floor and an 800 sq foot studio space). During class times, two classes will be offered and the third space will be open for lab or jam.

If you would like to come early or stay longer, you are welcome to. We will begin breaking down structures promptly after the closing round robin on sunday, but we'll have the green room available to us through Sunday night.

If you are an experienced contact teacher and would like to participate in the Teacher's Conference before the festival, contact info@bodyresearch.org
