Nita Little's Bio (中文翻译见下)
> **Nita Little** investigates **embodied attention** within improvisational and technical movement practices with a concentration on the technicities of both creative and relational practices. Through ensemble dance improvisation practice and performance she works toward a future that recognizes our environmental entanglements and values many forms of embodied communication, recognizing that the quality of an embodied state determines the potentials of its relational capacities. A dance researcher, theorist/artist, and one of the founding developers of Contact Improvisation (CI) she teaches around the globe, guiding one of its forward leading edges. She began over 50 years ago, working alongside her teacher at Bennington College, Steve Paxton, on materials that became CI (1972) and was a participant in the earliest performances and teaching that helped it to become significant within dance and dance communities. Within CI’s first year she developed a curiosity about the relationship of the (physical) mind and relational events. Now, she investigates ecological actions of embodied attention, particularly with respect to somatic communication between humans and beyond.

> Nita received her PhD in Performance Studies with a focus on the articulation of presence and creative actions of attention (2014). Her life work is inclusive of mindbody training, performing, choreographing, researching and writing about the ethics, politics and entanglement of somatic relations. With a world-wide audience for her teaching, dance making, and lecturing, she is an activist for relational intelligence and an advocate for dancers as embodied researchers, marking and exposing a field of human relational potentials. She is executive director of the *Institute for the Study of Somatic Communication* (ISSC, 2016), a network of laboratories populated by dancer researchers and associate research experts from diverse fields. She lives near Seattle, in the USA. Currently she tours throughout the year and may be found on 6 continents.

妮塔·利特尔（Nita Little）致力于研究即兴和技术性动作实践中的具身注意力，重点关注创造性和关系性实践的技术层面。通过即兴舞蹈的集体实践和演出，她致力于迈向一种能够承认我们与环境相互纠缠的未来，并珍视多种形式的具身沟通；她认为，具身状态的质量决定了其关系能力所能展开的潜力。
作为一名舞蹈研究者、理论家/艺术家，同时也是接触即兴（Contact Improvisation，简称CI）的奠基性发展者之一，她在全球各地范围内教学，引领着这一实践（CI）的持续向前发展。五十多年前，她在本宁顿学院与导师史蒂夫·帕克斯顿（Steve Paxton）合作，参与了后来发展为接触即兴（1972）的相关素材研究，并参与了最早期的演出与教学，使这一形式在舞蹈及舞蹈社群中获得重要地位。
在接触即兴创立之初，她便对（具身的）心智与关系性事件之间的联系产生了浓厚的兴趣。如今，她的研究聚焦于具身注意力的生态性行动，尤其关注人与人之间以及超越人类层面的身心沟通（Somatic communication）。
妮塔于2014年获得表演研究（Performance Studies）博士学位，研究重点在于**在场性的表述**以及**注意力的创造性行动**。她毕生致力于身心训练、表演、编舞、研究与写作，探讨身心关系中的伦理、政治与纠葛状态。
她的教学、舞蹈创作与讲座面向全球观众，是**关系智能（Relational Intelligence）**的积极倡导者，并主张将舞者视为**具身的研究者**，由此标示并揭示人类关系潜能的广阔领域。她现任**身心沟通研究所**（Institute for the Study of Somatic Communication，ISSC，2016）执行总监，该机构是一个由舞蹈研究者及来自不同领域的相关研究专家共同组成的实验室网络。
她居住在美国西雅图附近。目前全年巡回各地，足迹遍及六大洲。她也邀请你订阅她的月度通讯，可通过以下网址注册：
