    I just dyed a new batch of colorful kneepads!  I’ll bring these to the jams and the Sunday class.  Please see me if you’re intered!  Kneepad picture

    “The simple pleasure of moving and living through one’s body is what I think matters most here. And the pleasure of dancing with someone in a spontaneous, unplanned way, free to create without disturbing one’s partner. It’s an extremely inspiring form of dance” — Steve Paxton

    Here’s a nice video from CI36 featuring (our very own) Steve Homsher!  I really appreciate the aliveness both dancers embody through their legs while they are being lifted as well as their availability into their backspaces: CI36 Steve Homsher, et al.

    “I value this work [of Contact Improvisation] not only for the rare glimpses of in-touch, in-time, in-tune, but for the companionship of the ever present indications of what is possible. The form itself, if one exists beyond the instances of attempts to experience it, is none other than the existence of the possibility of a dance in which wills, instincts and verges merge. Emergency, emerge, merge. It amounts to having to believe in a possibility which one may never have experienced.” — Christina Svane

    “Contact Improvisation constructs a formal setting in which to observe a person’s individual process of responding spontaneously to surprising and unusual physical circumstances. This display is a deeply human expression of a dancer’s physical history, imagination, particular survival strategies, and body intelligence.” — Daniel Lepkoff
