About

Togethering: Beech Hill Gathering

A Contact Improvisation weekend
at Beech Hill, Cheshire · 30 July to 3 August 2026

A small gathering to dance, share and explore the practice of CI, and spend time together over several days in a beautiful, wilding place.

Your hosts and facilitators will be Mungo Dalglish, Alex Dodgson, and Lily Antonia

What to expect:

A long weekend of Contact Improvisation with:

• Daily classes and space for labs
• Open and focused jams
• Shared meals and time together
• Space to rest, walk, and be outdoors
• Evening jams and sauna + cold plunge

Simple structure. Enough guidance to support the space. Enough openness for things to emerge.

The place:

We’ll be gathering at Beech Hill, a small land-based collective living in a large farmhouse with 27 acres of field and woodland in Cheshire.

Including a large marquee space for dancing, land to roam, fire, simple living.
This isn't a retreat centre - we will be welcoming you into our home 🙂
