Event Details
Contact Improvisation with Arthur Simone

Contact improvisation is defined as a dance technique in which key points of physical contact provide the starting point for movement improvisation and exploration. Whether your dance partner is a human, a chair, or the floor, you draw from a steady or shifting point of reference . . . the Point of Contact. This workshop will deal with recognizing and respecting that point of contact, building to the ability to play around in it. In comedy improv, we spend so much time and energy flailing and trying to create a relationship – but it’s already there from the beginning, didn’t you know? Getting inside your body makes for heightened awareness and instant environmental recognition, making it the momma of all tools in your improv tool belt.
Do not take this workshop if you’re uncomfortable with basic human touch or rolling on the ground. This is not choreography, this is not stage combat, this is not ballet class, this is learning to play with a partner with your bodies. Regardless of how awkward and undancerlike you are, if you come to this workshop, I will teach you about your body, about balance, suspension, falling, lifting, and more.
