Core principles
Contact Improvisation is guided by several core principles:
- Physical listening — attending to touch, pressure, and movement cues.
- Shared weight — exploring support, counterbalance, and load-bearing between bodies.
- Momentum and flow — working with inertia, falling, and recovery.
- Improvisation — movement arises spontaneously in response to present conditions.
- Non-hierarchy — no leader–follower roles are predefined.
