“The practice of contact [improvisation] very quickly became an amazing laboratory for observing yourself. Observing the moments when you have gaps of consciousness, when the speed of the dancing is so fast that your reflexes kick in, and you leave your body for a second and then come back. And you’re like “Ooh, wow! My body just took over!” And it’s exciting—your body just took care of you!” — Chris Aiken
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
