In 150 words or fewer, describe how one of the items listed in the "Involvement and Participation" section has affected you. How have you changed by being involved with this particular club, organization, or activity? Or how has this experience altered you outlook on politics, cultures, economics or education?
What happens to you when you dance and explore contact improvisation? How much do you want to merge and how much do you want to separate? What does it means to risk connection, connection to the world of others? Is our history the most important thing or is it our soul? Do we relate to each other as representatives of groups or as individuals? What roles do we play and how do those public personas influence others, creates movement, and changes space?
Contact Improvisation has given me a framework to explore these questions and the ideas of closeness, of connection in our lives, especially when we have our own tailor-made personalities with their own set of boundaries. And then, how to shed those roles and move authentically, connected and integral in the space of dance, and society. Contact Improvisation allows us to see how we are disconnected and then perhaps move through those disconnections to more meaningful interactions. It is where you get to discover where you see yourself in relation to the greater world. This form of dance offer kinesthetic training and somatic awareness, and it also gives you tact for negotiation and clear communication. There is also this lovely, floating relationship to abstraction, while shedding light into the deep inner human existence and webbing of our reality.
