Relational Intelligence in CI: Embodied CoCreative Practices
“All Intelligence is Collective Intelligence”
Michael Levin

This workshop is a deep dive into those relational practices inherent in dancing contact improvisation that
build a foundation for co-creativity, individual and collective trust, and ultimately, emergent phenomenon.
Relational intelligence is part of the meeting of dance partners when we experience ongoing surprise and
the rise of actions greater than any single being can conceive. To understand the fundamentals of our co-
creative meetings we study the body that knows, communicates, and inquires through all levels of touch.
Embodied attention shapes our meetings and awakens communication. It moves within bodyminds, faster
than body language. While working on the physicality of moving well and moving well together, we will
train those embodiments that are always also in consideration of our partner’s well-being – and our ability
to know so. Through training specific practices, working through scores, showings, discussions, and other
investigative modes, we delve into topics that make physical the ethics of care, modalities of difference,
decolonizing our embodiments and our relational expectations, and reWilding our moving
presence. Creative, thoughtful, heart based, skill based, our learning will be anchored in the core
principles of Contact Improvisation. From the concrete to the sublime, we will stretch the reach of our
dance until it lives within our every moment.

Bio:
Nita Little investigates embodied attention within movement practices with a concentration on the technicities of both
creative and relational practices. Through ensemble dance improvisation practice and performance she works toward
a future that recognizes our environmental entanglements and values many forms of embodied communication. A
dance researcher, theorist/artist, and one of the founding developers of Contact Improvisation (CI) she teaches
around the globe, guiding one of its forward leading edges. She began 50 years ago, working with Steve Paxton on
materials that became CI (1972) and was a participant in the earliest performances and teaching that helped it to
become significant within dance and dance communities. Within CI’s first year she developed a curiosity about the
relationship of the (physical) mind and relational events. Now, she investigates ecological actions of embodied
attention, particularly with respect to somatic communication between humans and beyond.
Nita received her PhD in Performance Studies with a focus on the articulation of presence and creative actions of
attention (2014). Her life work is inclusive of mindbody training, performing, choreographing, researching and writing
about the ethics, politics and entanglement of somatic relations. With a world-wide audience for her teaching, dance
making, and lecturing, she is an activist for relational intelligence and an advocate for dancers as embodied
researchers. She looks forward to returning to direct the internationally active Institute for the Study of Somatic
Communication (ISSC, 2016), a network of laboratories populated by dancer researchers and associate research
experts from diverse fields. She lives near Seattle, in the USA. During the years of worldwide retreat she initiated
online classes of “Relational Intelligence” and “Composing Emergence” as well as private coaching which continue.
Currently she tours throughout the year and may be found on 6 continents. She invites you to get her monthly
newsletter available by signing up at: www.nitalitte.com
