A program dedicated to movement, contact improvisation, and performance.
Through workshops, performances, jams, and shared practice, Performance & Contact Improvisation brings together dancers, performers, and curious movers to explore connection through touch, weight, listening, and play.
Each day begins with a morning intensive led by a guest teacher, offering an opportunity to dive deeply into a specific aspect of Contact Improvisation and Performance practice. In the afternoons, Raul Raul Saldarriaga guides sessions that integrate and expand upon the themes explored earlier in the day. Evenings provide space to practice, experiment, and embody what has been learned through jams, performances, and shared exploration.
Open to both experienced practitioners and newcomers — come to move, witness, and improvise together
