At the Freiburg Contact Festival 2019, Flor Campise and Meldy Ijpelaar facilitated the festival research project entitled ‘From CI island to CI connective Rhizome’ – which included workshops that I also attended. Subsequently, they produced the zine ‘NOT-YET CONTACT IMPROVISATION’ drawing on their research.

Read the zine ‘NOT-YET CONTACT IMPROVISATION’ (PDF)
The zine includes discussion of space in and around contact improvisation events. It’s reminiscent of a 2017 lecture by Chloe Metcalfe – a researcher from Roehampton University – who discussed English folk dance and the use of space in its settings.
