The Jewel in the Fold - Advanced Contact Improvisation

Martin Keogh

November 13 (Thursday evening) - November 16 (Sunday afternoon)

In this intensive workshop we will seek the range of possibilities and veiled power inherent in the creases of the joints as we investigate an instinctual, reflexive style of contact improvisation.

With games, some sweat, and the unique physicality of the contact body we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention.


Martin Keogh has taught and performed contact improvisation for over twenty-eight years. For his contribution to the development of the form he is a Fulbright Senior Specialist and listed in Who's Who in the World. Martin spent time traveling to monasteries in Japan and Korea and was the director of the Empty Gate Zen Center in Berkeley before discovering the world of dance. He has co-facilitated teacher's conferences on four continents and is the author of The Art of Waiting and As Much Time as it Takes . More info at: www.martinkeogh.com
