Need a contact teacher to come to your area. Teach CI people, general dancers wanting to learn CI, business wanting to improve work environment and worker communication, and more. At your disposal. Also available for relationship and financial coaching. Oh yeah, need high end computer "stuff" from a PhD - I do that as well.

Suspend is an aerial and circus arts studio that focuses on aerial dance (the collision of modern dance composition and aerial acrobatics). In starting up the dance sector of Suspend, which includes various styles of dance classes, and a small dance company, we are also trying to involve more people in the art and practice of Contact Improvisation! This region of the country has been sadly deprived of consistent practice in this form with no existing jams or events outside of the university scene. Thus, it is our honor of privilege to allow a safe space for this practice to exist and grow in Kentucky!

Play and movement inquiry are my joys. I teach contact using principles of Body-Mind Centering and Somatic Psychology. Using the infant developmental principles including embryological gestures, gives solid safety and integration to contact.

Happy to teach in your area, as I love meeting new contact folks. Also, looking at traveling abroad to teach. If interested, give me a shout.

Best, Annie

New York, NY, 10033,

I'm a filmmaker who loves to dance - any and all kinds including CI, salsa, reggae, rumba, swing. CI is the most profound of all of them - it unlocks my subconscious and I find it often very cathartic. I used CI in a film lately that will be distributed throughout NYC. It's called, "Older and Wiser: Many Faces of HIV." I did a workshop that improvised movement around various themes relating to aging and HIV and used some of the footage with interviews. I have my own small production company and have been doing this for several years so you can call on me if you need to create a dance video for inspiration, fund-raising, documentation or have a dance/film idea you'd like to collaborate on.

Greetings! While dancing Brazilian Zouk, I realized my desire to intensify my dance connection. I believe that learning & practicing Contant Improv will help me to connect more through dance. I'm a Contact Improv novice, but would love to meet up for a jam session. I hop around Tampa, Miramar, and Miami often.

InSync: the art of being in time with others.
Please call or e-mail InSyncParty@gmail.com to announce or be notified of parties in your area and let us know if you would like to become or hire a coach. Thanks

InSync is a party game for a team of players to have fun trusting body languages ability to spontaneously respond without time for words or thoughts of consequences.

InSync is a team diving through
waves of thoughts with balloon
ideas tied to everyone.

Team knows
the touch of acceptance
melts balloon strings
so everyone can sink
into the darkness,
that focuses light
on the changing
frames of time
to clearly show
the perfection
of creations
flow.

Memories and fantasies are mirror shadows
of spontaneous emotion and sensation
of physically being in time as a team.

Life is such a beautiful adventure! Such a rich variety of experiences, from flying on somebody's shoulder in a contact improv jam, to falling madly in love, to sitting quietly in a tree watching the world go by, to puzzling out the details of some computer software invention, to running and diving into some very cold water, to long conversations inquiring into our fears, judgments, attitudes, nature and purpose.

Hello CI Community

After over 10 years of dancing in this amazing form, I am teaching a combination of contact improvisation and body-mind centering® in Portland, Oregon. I am excited to bring this combination of things to my community, and also hope to bridge my teaching out in the US as well as abroad. I facilitate an experience through play and experimentation, where we dive into the unknown and the re-membering of our wise bodies to inhabit the spaces in between ourselves, others, and the earth.

Each jam opens with a short class lead by rotating facilitators and transitions into open jamming. Extra instruction available. Beginners welcome.

Began CI as a child with Dance New England community. Now 30-some years later--after living in Japan, studying and performing with Kazuo Ohno-- I teach and perform mostly Butoh and have begun a marriage between Butoh and CI along with my meditation practice. It is a delightful and continutally blossoming investigation. I reglarly teach Butoh-CI workshops in WA, CO, AZ and NM....and would be happy to expand that when called. Blessings and Love, momo

I lead a weekly class and jam in Grass Valley, CA in the Sierra Foothills, which I've been leading since Fall of 2005. We have a wonderful, warm-hearted group of about 20-30 folks in the community, with about 12 showing up on any given night, mixed levels. I also bring out-of-town teachers in to lead weekend workshops, and I'm available to travel and teach workshops. I've been studying CI since something like 1989, always learning and growing and loving it, and bringing in elements from other movement studies. In my teaching I focus on CI as an art/dance form, an awareness practice, a tool for self-revelation and self-change, and a source of endless fun and discovery. I tend to go more into the psychological and healing aspects of CI than other teachers I know. I would love to teach at festivals or do a workshop in your community.

"Try to love the questions themselves ....
Don't search for answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then you will gradually,
without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer."

I have just returned to the Bay and will be teaching workshops and classes here. I currently teach an on-going CI class at ODC in San Francisco (Sat 12:15 - 2:00) and I travel internationally on a regular basis. I am in the process of getting a PhD in performance studies from UC Davis. My dissertation on embodied states of attention in dance will become a book.

Assorted jams and classes from October through late May at my house on Siesta Key. Visit ContactImprovFL.org to get on our email list or to get more information.

It's hard to keep the times up to date on the site, though, so it's highly recommended you get on the email list and we'll keep you up-to-date when a new schedule is released. We plan in advance and only email you about 3 times a year.

Normally $8 for a jam, $35 for an individual lesson at my house, and $5 to $10 more if I drive to meet you.

I can't host out-of-towners at my house because I run two nonprofits from it, and work online til 5am blaring music sitting on the couch so there'd be nowhere for you to crash.

For me Contact Improvisation (CI) is more than exercise and fun, though it is both of these. For me CI is an explorations of our human container (skin), stimulating our body and mind-body awareness, self acceptance and trust, and building reciprocal relationships.

I was first introduced to CI taking classes at the Meadville Arts Council with James Reedy in PA, and then as an student at Bennington College, VT. I have jammed and taken classes in Boston MA, New York NY, East Coast Jams at Claymont, Moab UT, Portland OR, San Fransisco and Berkeley CA, and New Zealand.
