(ABOUT CONTACT IMPROVISATION) Contact Improvisation is a versatile form of movement, now practiced all over the world as an awareness practice, an art and dance form, sometimes a social/ recreational activity, and much more. The practice of Contact Improvisation (CI) emerged 50 years ago in the United States and has been widely spread across the globe since. It involves the exploration of one's body in relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness. It is a dance practice in which the physical contact points, between at least two dancers, become the starting point of an exploration made of improvised movements. Contact Improvisation is based on playing and exploring the possibilities of two bodies meeting in the space. It involves a lot of listening and being aware of the body and the surroundings, whilst the improvisational aspect invites the curiosity of going into the unknown territory of every moment.
