Contact Improvisation

It is a dance-movement, originating from contemporary dance, that works in pairs or groups, sharing a body-to-body contact surface. By yielding the weight of the other, a support appears on which to explore new possibilities of movement. The dance is improvised based on listening to oneself and the people one dances with, synchronizing, creating, flying or rolling.

"The disorientation of traveling through trajectories
spirals and unexpected positions is combined with
the pleasure of surfing on tangents."

With the intention of maintaining contact with colleagues during improvisation, curvilinear movements are common which facilitate continuity in movement and are kinder to our physique. Inertia is also shared, as if the two bodies were one, even in falls to the ground, since this allows the joint movement to continue in new directions and even to retrace a fall in flight.

"The CI invites connection with oneself, with the other and with the group;
to delve into the sensory journey that is dancing in a synchrony
of various bodies orbiting free in a shared space."
