Queer Contact Improvisation Laboratory
Special guest: Ralf Jaroschinski
Contact Improvisation is a dance form that prioritizes touch, sharing weight, and bodily listening as guiding principles for dancing together.The practice is open to individuals of all levels of experience and physical abilities. No prior dance experience is required.In a queer context, contact improvisation can serve as a powerful practice for fostering community and exploring new forms of physicality between queers.
It promotes a sense of belonging, allowing participants to move freely and authentically while honoring their individuality in connectedness.
