Subject: [CI-Announce] Contact God
Message-ID: <9034-375D2DF7-22992@postoffice-113.iap.bryant.webtv.net>
I am looking for a partner(s) to explore the the depths of movement
(contact improvisation) with. To go beyond the supposed limits of
"physical" reality. I'm not talking about extreme athletics here , but
extreme conciousness. Here are some of the ideas (principles) we will
work with ---
~We are immortal here and now
~Immersion in each other ends the illusion of time and space.
~We allow ourselves to feel everything thereby fullfilling the message
in our feelings and moving to the next level of awareness.
~The "body" is a chrysalis - we will dis-cover what we really look
like.
~The "limitations" of the body are our ally.
~One plus One equals God
All this and more can be accomplished
maintaining the point of contact. If you understand this , please write
to me.

students from all over the world. He also teaches and performs
DanceAbility work through the US, Europe, and South America, wtig both

supports the creative expression of people with a wide range of physical
abilities. The work focuses on a teaching method that draws its material
from the group present in a given situation and teaches material that
isolates no one. People may choose not to participate, but not because
they are unable to do somethiing, but because as self-empowered
individuals they choose not to. Following one's own interest and desire
is a basic DanceAbility teaching.
