Contact Improvisation Ensemble Scores
A flock of birds fly overhead and look down to see a group of creatures doing something quite intriguing, beautiful, slightly chaotic, yet a stunning composition that spontaneously appears and dissolves. The birds ask, are they a flock too? In this contact improvisation class we will play with group composition scores, witnessing, and awareness of “audience” from various points of view (even the sky!).
