Contact Improvisation in Boulder & Denver
|
| Contact Improv is a form of improvisational dance, which originated at Oberlin College in 1972. It is done barefoot and usually without music. The defining feature of the form is that one is in (physical) contact with one's partner(s). This contact might be extended, as in finger-tip to finger-tip, or it might be very condensed, as in log-rolls accross the floor. Communication between partners is largely involved with exchange of weight. If one is giving weight to (leaning on) one's partner there is strong communication, even if the partners are back to back. |
