1:00 pm: Tech Together1:00 pm: Tech Together – Tech Together Do you use your access technology regularly, but don’t have time to keep up with what’s new and what’s changing? Do you sometimes hit roadblocks in your technology use and wish you could problem solve with someone else? Do you love your iPhone or iPad and want to learn more about accessible apps? Are you a screen reader or magnification user who’s trying to adapt to increasingly complex websites? Do you just want to talk about technology and the latest developments for blind and low vision users? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions , the Lighthouse invites you to Tech Together. Tech Together is a monthly technology learning group of blind and low vision technology users. We blind folks are resourceful and clever, but there is no reason we should each have to reinvent the wheel, or the app, for ourselves. In these sessions, we will discuss the topics that are of interest to the group, and help one another to understand troubleshooting, find app recommendations, and learn about the latest in Tech… Together! These sessions will be facilitated by LightHouse Access Technology specialists, but the meat of the event is for the participants to decide on themselves. At this inaugural event, we will pick a few bits of news to whet the appetite, and then, we will turn it over to you all to share your insights and help one another grow as technology users. Come with ideas on topics and bits of news and software you want to share with your friends. If you’re brand new to access technology, you may wish to book an individual appointment with an Access Technology instructor before joining this group. This group is free and open to all, but a current LightHouse waiver is required. To make sure you’re registered as a LightHouse student, contact Amelia Hogan, 415-694-7343 or ahogan@lighthouse-sf.org |

1:00 pm: Fundamentals of Contact Improvisation with Jess Curtis/Gravity1:00 pm: Fundamentals of Contact Improvisation with Jess Curtis/Gravity – Fundamentals of Contact Improvisation with Jess Curtis/Gravity FREE Contact Improvisation is an improvisational dance form utilizing physical principles such as touch, momentum, gravity, friction, resistance, counterbalance, lifting and falling. Primarily practiced as a duet form, Contact trains the senses and reflexes to allow for nuanced communication through touch, and the playful interaction of weight and momentum in space. This workshop will focus on the fundamental skills of Contact Improvisation, in a way that can be useful to the first time contacter as well as offering more experienced contacters a variety of concepts and exercises to increase their skill and options in the dance. We will address and practice 1) sustaining a clear point or points of contact. 2) Giving our weight through touch clearly and safely 3) Trusting our reflexes to find balance outside of the vertical and in motion 4) Moving our attention easily between our own body, our partners body and the space around us 5) Finding a variety of qualities in our dancing and our ability to move easily and intentionally between them 6) Finding our way easily into and out of dances. To RSVP, contact Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316. Image courtesy of Jess Curtis.
