To all those who ask me what Contact Improvisation is, I always answer that you have to experience it to really get to know it... The thinking body is the best way to find an authentic answer to this question...However, I like to describe it like this
There is a space and time to train deep listening to let personal metaphors and inner landscapes emerge, dance as a poem of gesture and movement that releases both generative power and graceful fragility. Imagine a place where the body becomes language, a body poem that reveals itself instant by instant, without predefined rules, just deep listening and trust in the other. An authentic encounter,
where gravity is an accomplice and balance a continuous negotiation. Bodies brush against each other, support each other, dialogue without words, in an uninterrupted flow of energies and sensations. Contact Improvisation is a dance of presence, a celebration of life in motion, a present moment in which bodies meet and separate, creating invisible geometries and unpredictable paths.
It is a practice of exploration, of discovery, of deep connection
with oneself and with others. The performances born from Contact Improvisation are like shared dreams, visions of a collective unconscious that take shape through the fluid and sincere interaction of the dancers.
