CONTACT AND IMPROVISATION CELEBRATION - CI 41

free entrance
“The art of dance, the art of the body”
(Steve Paxton)

As part of the Kontakt Budapest International Improvisation Festival, we invite all of you to share the dance on this Sunday afternoon. We’ll offer guided warm-ups; performances with foreign and local artists; a contact class for families; historical video showings, live music and spontaneous happenings; a moderated talk on the improvisation of mixed ability work with our special guests from the Austrian DanceAbility Movement and ArtMan; and lots of dancing!

The story of Contact Improvisation (CI) began 41 years ago with the first contact improvisation performance of the Steve Paxton-led ensemble at the John Webber Gallery in New York. Let’s celebrate the anniversary this year again! The detailed program is open for all abilities
