...about Contact Improvisation

"Contact improvisations are spontaneous physical dialogues that range from stillness to highly energetic exchanges.

Awareness is developed, trusting in one's basic survival instincts.

The improvised dance form is based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion - gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to open to these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement.

Practice includes rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact, supporting and giving weight to a partner.

It is a free play with balance, self-correcting the wrong moves and reinforcing the right ones, bringing forth a physical/emotional truth about a shared moment of movement that leaves the participants informed, centered, and enlivened."

-- early definition by american choreographer Steve Paxton and others, 1970s



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“By spending this focused time practicing and feed-backing together, developing awareness and accurate presence, hearing and sharing with each-others, we have not only a lot more fun, but also a greater openness and expansion of ourselves among others and nature, honoring natural boundaries, being free and dancing with everyone else’s freedom. 

Hearing ourselves we become aware and connected with natural laws and cycles.. in harmony and equilibrium. In stillness or in motion. Probably then we understand how we need no rules. Just good sense. Flowing Self. Being...


...when i observe without judging... i am present and i let go the ego..
When i am present, i accept things the way they are..
when i accept things the way they are, i choose either to let them be, or to change them.. 
and i'm happy with my choice.

When i'm happy, i'm grateful!! ..i feel to be full of Grace!
In this state my frequency rises.. and deeper is Peace within...
In Peace i am capable to observe even more clearly.. with less and less judgment, less ego struggle..”
