Sharing The Dance: Contact Improvisation

  • Inner Sense Healing Arts 3536 West Belmont Avenue Chicago, IL, 60618 United States (map)

This workshop creates a safe space for learning and practicing the basic principles of Contact Improvisation (CI). Participants are invited to follow curiosity and creativity with self and others. The CI dance form – based on physical skills involving touch, sharing weight, following a shared point of contact, and riding momentum – engages participants in connecting and responding to each moment. Participants work towards aligning body, mind, and spirit and deepening connections with self, partners, and surroundings.


"Contact Improvisation is an open-ended exploration of the kinesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through contact. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative, it is a form open to all bodies and enquiring minds." ~Ray Chung, performer, teacher, researcher, engineer, and artist who has worked with Contact Improvisation since 1979
