Contact Improvisation is an open ended exploration of the kinesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through cobarcfilmntact. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies, changing from moment to moment and dance to dance, a result of the physicalities of those meeting. Contact manifests in different ways depending on accidents of physics and the intentions and curiosities of those participating. Having a reference point in the post modern dance explorations of Steve Paxton and others in the early 70s, there is a base in an observation of the body’s abilities to self organize functionally in precarious, off-balance situations set up by the collaboration and collision of two or more investigating partners. Part “non-martial” martial art, part acrobatic dance, part movement meditation, part collaborative bodywork practice, contact is a place where we can, with a sense of playfulness and curiosity, explore our bodies and interconnection.
