Contact Improvisation ermöglicht es, mit einer fremden Person zu tanzen, ohne vorher abzusprechen, wie es geht. Die eine Hälfte des Namens ist Improvisation. Es ist Bewegung ohne Ziel oder Planung. Das In-Berührung-Sein mit einem Partner, das Spüren beider physikalischer Gewichte und die Hingabe an die physikalischen Kräfte ermöglichen eine gegenseitige Freiheit zu einer körperlichen und geistigen Bewegung.

As a basic focus, the dancers remain in physical touch, mutually supportive and innovative, meditating upon the physical laws relating to their masses: gravity, momentum, inertia and friction. They do not strive to achieve results but rather, to meet the constantly changing physical reality with appropriate placement and energy.

When we get our mass in motion, we rise above the constant call of gravity toward the swinging, circling invitation of centrifugal force. Dancers ride and play these forces. Behind Newton's third law, we discover that for every action several equal and opposite reactions are possible. Therin lies an opportunity for improvisation.

We are all alone in this together.

The earth is bigger than you, you might as well coordiante with it.
