ABOUT CONTACT IMPROVISATION:
Contact Improvisation is a partner dance that is co-created moment by moment. Touch, weight sharing and movement awareness inform this dance style that was developed in the early 1970’s by American contemporary dancer and choreographer Steve Paxton.
In his own words Paxton describes Contact Improvisation this way: ‘As a basic focus, the dancers remain in physical touch, mutually supportive and innovative, meditating upon the physical laws relating to their masses: gravity, momentum, inertia, and friction. They do not strive to achieve results, but rather, to meet the constantly changing physical reality with appropriate placement and energy.’
