Description

Contact Improv is a movement form that involves two people in contact, maintaining a spontaneous physical dialogue through the sensing of shared weight and momentum. For this to happen, bodies open to the sensations of weight, balance and momentum and learn to release excessive muscular tension and some degree of willful volition to the natural flow of movement at hand. It is a physical format to practice embodied skills of communication and listening, while providing a safe and consensual way to invite new patterns, release tension, and find your playful, wild self.
