Contact: Movement and Music

suddenlyLISTEN, the purveyor of experimental, improvisational sound of all styles, branches out into dance with this show that's equal parts movement and melody. "Contact improvisation is a contemporary dance form that involves the exploration of one's body in relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness," event organizers explain, before adding that a backdrop of improvised music—AKA "a contemporary music form that involves the exploration of sound production in a relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing listening, sound, development and musicianship"—will round out the performance. Let your ears settle into the rich parallels as the performance unfolds.
