Contact improvisation offers us a container for the practice of non-verbal communication, of
expanded awareness, and for creative expression while allowing what is unexpected to emerge.
As we ground ourselves in the core principles of CI and focus on the dynamic subtleties of
touch, tone and weight, we will expand our perception to include space, time, image, gesture
and design through duet, trio and ensemble dancing. Seeking a quality of attention that shifts
from self to other, to the environment and the ever-changing atmospheres in the room, we will
consider how a lightly held compositional awareness and feeling can support our efforts to
connect, find meaning when we are dancing, and engage with innovative possibilities for
individual and collective improvisation.
This work can be viewed not only as a means for creative expression but as a process for developing our capacity to collaborate and build a community that holds space for each
individual.
