New Episode ~ Faces of CI: Conversations on Contact Improvisation
Our guest today is Stuart Phillips — Contact teacher since the 1980s, joining us from Victoria, BC, Canada.
From his wild roots at Bates College in the ’80s — all-day improvising and “contact as charades on steroids” — we explore:
✨ CI as weirdness, allowance, shadow work, and therapeutic relief from daily life
✨ His improvisational contact style — emphasizing improvisation, internal choice before flow
✨ Depatterning and deconditioning our habitual “contact moves”
✨ The patience and mystery of getting what you truly need in a dance
Stu 👂 "When I'm getting what I need in a dance, it’s shifting me — so it makes me more open to the world. It takes so much patience. It's such a mystery."
