Contact Improvisation

Sarah Konner

Delve into the possibilities of contact improvisation through a dynamic movement practice rooted in deep listening, curiosity, and collaborative discovery. Through somatic warm-ups, dancers awaken their senses, reflexes, and spatial awareness while preparing the body for adaptability and responsive movement. Using playful experimentation and guided physical practices, participants investigate weight, momentum, rolling, soft collisions, falling, and flying through solo, duet, trio, and group improvisations. Both coordination and decision-making are essential, and they happen at the speed of the body. With a light and bright attention, dancers will tune into what is happening and take personal agency in every fleeting moment.
