Contact
Camp at
Burning Man 2008
a nexus for the exploration and sharing of the art
of Contact Improvisation in the social experiment of radical participation
and permission that is Black Rock City.
For the past 3 years, Contact Camp has been both
a group project for sharing Contact Improvisation on the playa and
a place to stay and share community for Contact Improvisors.
This last year (2007) Contact Camp was home to 75
contactors from around
the world and hosted 2 classes a day in Contact Improvisation Fundamentals
as well as special topic contact classes, classes in other body-studies,
and the daily Contact Jam at Center Camp ... a unique Contact Jam
that takes place in the midst of the hustle and bustle of an active
town center.
Contact Camp is reorganizing for 2008. If you would
like to participate somehow and be part of the crew, get in touch.

The
Body Research Contact Festival at Sierra Hot Springs:
August 19-24

from Black Rock City, and we'll be taking some of the contact camp
infrastructure there and dusting it off before the burn to create
a contact festival for about 70 experienced contactors... 12-20
instructor/presenters from around the country, facilitated space
for laboratories, and jams, performances, discussions, and other
events, plus, of course, the hot springs and access to Tahoe National
Forest. For info on this amazing event, click on the title.
