What's Most Extraordinary About CI: Sharing Agency: Contact improvisation allows an extraordinary combination of mutuality and agency. It enables movement partners to learn to mutually shape more aspects of their collaboration than most practices allow. In this way CI is an opportunity to cultivate shared agency .
Learning Contact Improvisation: Explaining how to do CI is like explaining how to walk or swim or surf or ride a bike – these kinds of things are learned by doing. However, we can find guidance about how to participate – to tune in and engage – in a way that invites what the practice teaches.
Respecting Boundaries: In order for each of us to have genuine choice about how we participate, everyone must accept that some invitations you offer won't be accepted, whether the invitation is a change in a dance that's happening or continuing such a dance or engaging in the first place. The health of our open CI gatherings depends on this understanding, which we try to convey in this document, Respecting Boundaries in Contact Improvisation.
Online Movement Collaboration: During the COVID-19 quarantine I wanted to continue to explore cooperative movement improvisation in so far as I could. I found success with several online scores. In the process of exploring and trying various things I've also learned more about what I'm looking for.
