In the beginning, contact improvisation was tagged with the term “art sport” which resonates deeply with me. Can we apply and combine our artistic and sensual athleticism and non-competitive sporting side while integrating a global awareness and compositional inclination as we dance?

While focusing on the dynamics and subtleties of touch, tone, texture, weight, momentum, and moving support, we will consider how a lightly held compositional awareness and feeling can support our efforts to connect and find meaning when we are dancing.
The workshop will involve specific improvisation investigations, perceptual tunings, principles of design and performance scores aimed at integrating CI within a greater creative universe. This work can be viewed not only as a means for creative expression but as a process for developing our capacity to collaborate and build a community that holds space for each individual.
