WHAT IS CONTACT IMPROV?
Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance and movement form based on the physical principles of touch, momentum, shared weight, and following a shared point of contact.
The form was founded in 1972 by Steve Paxton, who was radically experimenting as a contemporary dancer. Steve integrated other movement experiences including gymnastics and his studies in the martial art form Aikido.
CI has developed over the years into a more sophisticated, but still experimental form, that plays with all the ways we can contact with another person or the floor...rolling, sliding, mutual balance, the mechanics of lifting others and being lifted and even how to fall.
The interplay between dance and touch is a powerful somatic practice and the ever-changing points of balance creates new cognitive learning.
It can be healing and liberating to allow your whole body to experience contact with any part of the body in a safe creative dance and movement form.
