Also, my friend Scott is hosting an Underscore in Chicago on Saturday May 16. (Plus you could stay over and attend Chicago's Sunday jam.) The CI "underscore" was developed by the late great Nancy Stark Smith, one of CI's founding cohort. It's a long-form dance improvisation structure designed to integrate contact improvisation into a broader spectrum of dance, movement, and physical expression. It acts as a framework for research, play, and practice, guiding dancers through various energetic states—from quiet, solo, internal work to high-energy, shared physical interaction—over several hours or longer.
To our dances!

Hi all.
I'm STILL feeling fundamentally fly after our recent workshop and excited for tomorrow's CI Sunday class-Jam starting our April/May/June series.
