Contact Improvisation is an open-ended exploration of the possibilities of bodies moving through physical contact. 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. It is a dance that results from the present moment meeting the different physical realities of each dancer.

This series will dive into the building blocks of Contact Improvisation. Building upon the principles of touch, momentum and weight sharing, we will explore falling, rolling, counterbalance, lifting and being lifted using minimal effort. This practice cultivates trust and responsiveness to our partners and surroundings, and helps us learn to dance in the present moment.
