Nancy Stark-Smith, Contact Improvisation "I have planned nothing and that has kept me very busy." Ruth Zaporah, Action Theater "Contact improvisation is an activity related to familiar duet forms such as the embrace, wrestling, martial arts, and the jitterburg, encompassing the range of movement from stillness to highly athletic. The exigencies of the form dictate a mode of movement which is relaxed, constantly aware and prepared, and on-flowing." Steve Paxton, Contact Improvisation "You find yourself in front of an audience, believing that what you are doing is not interesting or doesn’t merit attention. Perhaps you begin to feel ashamed, or sad, or small. Precisely at that instant comes a great opportunity: you can empty out at that instant, you can see your judgment as simply another element in the landscape of actions— you can find yourself in the moment."
