 The 17th Annual West Coast Contact Improvisation Festival

 In Berkeley's 8th Street Studios June 30th through July 5th, 2005.


 (Berkeley, CA) From June 30th through July 5th, 2005, over thirty of
the West Coast's finest Contact Improvisation teachers offer five days
of superb Contact Improvisation classes, performances, discussions,
and teaching labs at 8th Street Studios in Berkeley. Contact
Improvisation is a unique dance form in which practitioners
spontaneously create movement material with one or more partners
coming into and out of physical contact. It began in 1972 as a
performed motion experiment called Magnesium.


 The West Coast Contact Improvisation Festival (WCCIF) is an annual
highlight of the Bay Area alternative dance scene. Contact
Improvisation is grass roots, community-based art form that sprang out
of New York City's revolutionary New Dance scene in the early 1970s.
Since that time, Contact Improvisation, "a worldwide movement of its
own*" has rooted itself in hundreds of communities across the globe;
it is a popular movement form throughout Western and Eastern Europe,
South America, Australia, and New Zealand, and is making strong
inroads into the dance scenes of Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
The influence of Contact Improvisation's fluid, weight-sharing, and
aerial partnering style is unmistakable in contemporary choreography.


 For over a decade, the WCCIF has been a vital forum in the United
States for fostering and disseminating this art form. This year's
festival is no exception. The most experienced and well known Contact
Improvisation teachers and dancers in the Western United States will
teach and perform for a growing number of Bay Area Dance connoisseurs.
And this year, the Festival also features four separate multiple-day
intensives for every level dancer.


 Please see our website at www.wccif.com for course descriptions,
full schedule of events, and further registration information. Public
