Contact Improvisation is an activity where movers and dancers of all levels can gather and explore this practice of moving together in whatever way is right for you.

Contact Improvisational Dance is a movement practice based on giving attention to the point of contact. Contact provides a starting point for exploration through movement improvisation. A characteristic form of post-modern dance, it is based on principles of kinetic awareness, weight transfer, and laws of motion. Techniques start with tuning into your own body and gentle communication through movement. It can also evolve into rolling, falling, suspension and counter-balance. There will be opportunity to move from a base of sensation, dance with a shared central axis, seeking ease in going off balance, finding spontaneous acrobatics, and practicing mindful physicality. Moment by moment, you get to choose your involvement.

Wear comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and movement. Bring a beginner's mind. Please leave jewelry and scents at home. Please let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to moving with you!
