Contact improvisation

Fundamentals of Contact Improvisation

The root of contact is a study of physics of bodies moving through contact. We create for ourselves precarious situations and unusual tasks relative to another body and then see how we solve the problems and how our bodies self-organize to survive. This is the root curiosity. Keeping this as the root of our exploration gives us a container that has allowed amazing explorations to evolve that otherwise would likely have never evolved if the relational emotions of touch and proximity had been invested in as the primary explorations.
