What Is Contact Improvisation?
CONTACT IMPROVISATION, birthed in 1972 by choreographer Steve Paxton, is a continually evolving dance form based on the communication between two moving bodies in physical touch and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion--gravity, momentum, inertia. Alternately referred to as an art-sport , a social dance, animal play, physical dialogue, Contact evolves from a focus on internal sensation and in the last third of the 20th century transformed partnering throughout the western dance world.
