Contact Improvisation

Contact Improvisation open the instinctive and intuitive mind Contact Improvisation is a dance form of communicating, experiencing, and relating through physical contact between two or more people. Basic skills such as falling, rolling, sharing weight, and moving with momentum encourage a freedom of expression and communication unique to the form. The class will introduce both the roots and a contemporary approach to the form. A special focus will be on the “Improvisation” aspect of Contact Improvisation. Gravity, weight and a meditative entrance into sensing will be used to open the instinctive and intuitive mind of improvisation. Sensing yourself, non-verbal communication with others, and experiencing the environment facilitate reflecting on the past, present, and future of your improvising. Dancing ranges from simple to complex, depending on the experience levels. It is an accessible form where people can meet on equal ground and explore the movement possibilities that exist between them.
