NCCI Facilitators
Rebecca Bone
Her most fluent language being movement, Rebecca is an improvisational dance artist, teacher and facilitator. She teaches from the premise that our bodies are innately intelligent, and is curious about entering into and inhabiting states where new levels of availability in the body seem to open as if by magic. Her teaching is grounded in the fundamentals of CI drawing from her studies with Nancy Stark Smith, Nita Little, Daniel Lepkoff, Karen Nelson, Kirstie Simson and Andrew Harwood among others. Her primary teaching method is directing participants to sensation, felt experience and their own curiosity as access points for learning.
Rebecca has practiced CI for over 20 years, along with contemporary dance, physical theater, Authentic Movement, Axis Syllabus, Capoeira and recently aerial arts. She holds a BFA in modern dance and a certificate in Somatic Education with Moving on Center. She is excited to support established and budding CI communities through visiting as a guest teacher.
Cullen Brown
is a nerd-athlete, otter-person, climber-of-rocks and an acolyte of the weird who revels in the mundane. He developed a healthy addiction to falling since he learned to stand and has spun that addiction into dedicated practice through play. Since stumbling into CI in 2018 he has studied with the likes of Ray Chung, Nita Little, Alicia Grayson, Ezra LeBank, Keith Hennessy, Brenton Cheng, Rebecca Bone and others. He moves with the (lightly) held belief that his direct felt experience is his primary teacher, that there is always a mystery un-sensed and further sense-able, and that the unthinkable is ever available if you just stop thinking about it.
