ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

This year, we invite you to explore how Contact Improvisation deepens our capacity for listening, strengthens community, and fosters ease in change. In CI, every fall is not the end of a thread, but the beginning of a new one – a step into the unknown, where trust, adaptability, and mutual support emerge through movement.

We begin with listening – tuning into sensation, space, and each other, refining our ability to be present with what unfolds. Through shared weight and shifting dynamics, we discover how to offer and receive support, meeting the moment with care.

From this foundation, resilience grows—not as rigid strength or control but as the ability to move fluidly with change. In falling, we find grace; in landing, we expand our horizons. CI teaches us that navigating the unexpected is not only possible but deeply nourishing.

Join us in this exploration of movement, trust, and the art of landing into the unknown.
