Contact improvisation

Dancers from Motionhouse Dance Theatre show us how contact improvisation and specifically the use of weight and momentum can lead to the creation of original and exciting movement. Kevin Finnan and Louise Richards demonstrate a range of improvised movement ranging from the relatively basic falls to advanced lifts such as the Orbit. They emphasise the need to progress gradually, building trust and experience.
