This Contact Improvisation series is an introduction and exploration of key concepts and skills of contact improvisation.

Great for movers and dancers who are new to CI, and for regular CI dancers who would like to deepen their range of skill and comfort with contact improvisation.

We will explore and develop our own improvisational movement vocabularies and expression; as well as use improvisational scores to develop, expand and explore common CI vocabularies and core skills including:

  • partial weight sharing,
  • lifts and understanding the center, stacking
  • invitations, pouring and communication in CI
  • the improvisational mind.
