Contact Based Movement & Improvisation

workshops for dancers & non-dancers

facilitated by Muchsin Maltezos

Evolving from the experimentation of American postmodern dance in the 1960s, Contact Improvisation was founded by Steve Paxton in 1972. It has been variously described as both a form of dance and a sport. Based upon physical laws such as momentum, gravity, and inertia, it can be characterised by its use of everyday movements, & promotes a healthy awareness of the body & its relationship to the physical world.
