“The freedom improvisation offers doesn’t come without bidding. Its pleasure is a discipline. In the practice of Contact Improvisation, one is constantly faced with one’s tendency to make the same choices over and over again. Within the form, this tendency is countered by working in close contact with a partner who is in a position to remind you that there are options you hadn’t considered. Appreciating that invitation is one of the basic challenges improvising offers.” — Nancy Stark Smith
Here’s a video of a Contact Improvisation performance called “Yield” which was performed by Vitali Kononov and Rosemary Hannon at the West Coast Contact Improvisation Festival in 2007: Yield at WCCIF 2007
