Gravity.
For me it has always been a mysterious word, and one very often
used when talking about Contact Improvisation.
I imagine it as a rain falling costantly over a dance that is taking
place.
I connect it to the idea of weight, of how to give and receive it.
I connect it to the unexpected, to what happens when we are
immersed in the many stimuli and distractions that cover any dance.
I connect it to resilience: how to continue to dance under a rain of
gravity?
In this workshop I would like to make space for gravity – as the
weight of the body, as grounding, as the joyful chaos of being in
contact in a duet.

BIO’s Linda Bufali (Italy)
I met C.I. in 1998 during a physical theatre course. I was fascinated
by it and began a long learning process that continues to this day.
Since 2008 I have been teaching in many Italian communities and
abroad (Spain, France, Austria, Gremany, Belgium, Ukraine, Greece, Israel, Japan).
Teaching means to me feeding my own research and satisfying the need to contribute to and support that of others.
I conceived and organised events with the desire to spread CI as
much as possible (Italy Contact Camp and CicloNomade) because I believe it is an extraordinary, powerful and healthy Revolution that starts from us, from our bodies.
Personally, I experience C.I. as the best way I have in this life to
meet someone outside of social compromises, to meditate and keep the urge to move alive.
Life is movement, moving in two accelerates awareness.
Today I am 47 years old, a mother of two children aged 27 and 5. I
am also a grandmother of a two-year-old boy.
