The music and dance is improvised and the dancers use contact improvisation as a performance form. An extract from a performance titled "Hurry up and weight" from the Making Contact series and featuring Andrew Harwood, Jacob Lehrer, Judit Keri, David Corbet with musicians Rae Howell and Alies Sluiter. Videographer Dianne Reid.

  • Semi-rehearsed, you guys so knew most of the paths you were going down (or up) etc.

  • @noneofusareok i'm curious... why did you come back 3 years later to make essentially the same comment again?

    as to your claim. the work was not semi-rehearsed. it was an open improvisation with the structure and content forming in real time. but regardless, does it matter how a work is made?

  • Beautiful. We're learning how to do this in my Improvisation in Dance & Theatre class. So inspiring!

  • @slightlymoving I am sorry, I do not go through the comments to find out I have made a comment in the past, I just watch videos and some of them make me wanna make a comment, that's all. I think I was consistent then. I like what you guys are doing, I just had a point to make. It matters to me how it is made, as a viewer, I am also a researcher. I try to understand processes.

  • why am i crying...?!?!?

  • I tried contact impro yesterday for the first time. Of course I wasn't as good as these people but I had my moments of flow. It was incredible. And so is this.

  • the way i do it is more fluid, i feel there was more emphasis on what lift or strange way shuld i move my body than the acting o organics...

    but its nice to see more stuff on youtube

  • Loved it !
