Contact Improvisation is a partnering dance form. Skills such as rolling,
releasing, giving and supporting weight, expanding range of spatial concentration,
lifting, catching and falling help one move with and through gravity, share
weight in motion and use momentum and flow in physical contact for joyful
dancing. These weekly classes, open to people of all levels of movement experience,
are informed variously by the individual teaching artists.

Research at Eden's Expressway
This workshop is aimed at dancers, actors, musicians and artists who are interested
in corporal dramatization (theater of the body.) Special attention will be
given to the anatomical principles of theater such as energy and space. The
workshop will explore the body's movement from a theatrical point of view
through improvisation and by focusing on the visual aspect of corporal display.
