Shaping Change is a concept drawn from Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown. This book will accompany our body research, inspiring us and serving as a collective tool for imagination. In this intensive, we will explore Contact Improvisation as a collaborative practice of shaping change—cultivating agency, awareness, and radical softness. We will approach our bodies as universes shaped by sensations, perceptions, habits, cultures, and beliefs. Through dance, we will engage in dialogue, deepening our connection to one another and the intricate web of relations we create simply by existing on this planet. Contact Improvisation will be our practice of awake awareness, readiness, transformation, and solidarity—an art of presence in each unfolding moment, opening space for encounter. We will explore its technical aspects, focusing on the skeleton, skin, breath, and the dynamics of giving and supporting weight. Together, we will cultivate strategies for being in this world. What does it mean to shape change collectively—softly, radically—for a future that is both imaginable and unimaginable?
