Nancy Stark Smith first trained as an athlete and gymnast, leading her to
study and perform modern and postmodern dance in the early 1970's. She danced
in the first performances of Contact Improvisation in 1972 and has since been
centrally involved in its development as dancer, teacher, performer, writer/
publisher and organizer, working with Steve Paxton and other favorite dance
partners and performance makers. She has traveled throughout the world
teaching and performing Contact and related dance work. In 1975 she cofounded
Contact Quarterly, an international dance and improvisation journal, which
she continues to coedit and produce.
Susan Schell has taught and performed throughout the US and abroad. Her work
is deeply influenced by her extensive study of Contact Improvisation, Action
Theater and Authentic Movement, which has included collaborative projects
with many innovators in the field of improvisational dance. For the past 14
years she has been enrolled in an apprenticeship program under the scrupulous
and equally scrumptious tutiledge of two masters in the field of child's play
- her sons. She has been on the faculty of several programs for the study of
Authentic Movement and is adjunct dance faculty at the University of Maine.
Karen Nelson practices dance, performance and meditation. Her work is
dependent on 25 years of study and collaboration with the respective
brilliance of Steve Paxton (Contact Improvisation, Material for the Spine,
etc.) and Lisa Nelson (perceptual dancing, the Tuning Score, etc.), and
numerous other collaborators of research including Daniel Lepkoff, Scott
Smith, K.J. Holmes, Nancy Stark Smith, Alito Alessi, Margit Galanter.
Traveling widely for both work and study, as well as dancing with persons of
diverse ages and abilities have also influenced her approach to dance.
