Contact Improvisation is a partner dance form that has continuously been developed since its beginnings in the USA in 1972. In the meantime „Contact“ is practiced worldwide and is being used for choreographic research and artistic practice and has become part of dance education and dance pedagogy programmes. In this class, elements of the basic CI vocabulary will be introduced and explored.

A specific focus will be directed towards touch and letting oneself be touched, as well as awareness, the senses and communication through the skin. Further information about CI can be found   on www.contactencyclopdia.net. On this website, which is supported by the HfMDK Frankfurt, you can find texts, videos, video tutorials and further materials.
