Welcome to Faces of CI - conversations in Contact Improvisation. In each episode, I interview Contact dancers, teachers, strangers, and friends about the practice, and ultimately ask about Contact as a mirror for life. We journey primarily through SE Asia & Canada Contact scenes. I'm your host Aalia, a lifelong dancer, now based in Bali where I share CI in workshop & retreats.

Welcome to Faces of CI - conversations in Contact Improvisation. Our guest today is Stuart Phillips, Contact Teacher since 1980's joining us from Victoria, BC, Canada. From his wild roots at Bates College in the 1980's all day improvising to contact as charades on steriods. We chat about CI as weirdness, allowance, shadowwork, and therapeutic relief from our everyday lives. His style of improvisational contact, empahisis on the improvising, internal choice first over flow. Depatterning and deconditioning our "contact moves." "When I'm getting what I need in a dance, its shifting me - so it makes me more open to the world. It takes so much patience. It's such a mystery."
