contact improvisation laboratory gathering and exchange

January 12 – January 15, 2007

This laboratory gathering is for intermediate–advanced level contact improvisers who are interested in researching and developing the art and practice of contact improvisation through collaborative group investigation and self-study. We will step out of the role of teacher or student, will voice our specific curiosities and interests and will explore through the sharing of skills, techniques, approaches and styles. Topics studied will depend entirely on the curiosities of the individuals involved. Some time will be available for classes, open jams and discussion groups, however the majority of the time will be spent on focused physical practice, body-based research and investigation. The gathering will be facilitated by Leslie Castellano and Tanya Stotsky.
