In this version of contact improvisation it is allowed to touch the entire body by chance and also intentionally.  Co-creative dancing and being with others, assuming active and passive roles in various percentages, queer sensuality, erotic, even acrobatic moments – all of this will be put into context with each other.  A safe container will be held which will allow the participants to express themselves fully and freely.  As well as being a lot of fun, this practice also has a very integrative and healing effect.

Ralf Jaroschinski was born in Southern Germany and grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  He trained to become a dancer in Hannover, Germany, and New York.  He works as a dancer, choreographer and teacher since 30 years.  Since about 15 years, he focuses on contact improvisation and facilitates it in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.  In 2009, he developed „sensual contact improvisation“ in San Francisco and has already taught several workshops and class series in the US, Peru, Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany.
