Ken Manheimer
  • For me, improvised dance is an antidote to the static of daily life.
  • I'm a software developer for livelihood.
  • I've studied contact improv and ensemble improv with central CI teachers, as well as practicing with myriad dance partners at jams across many years.
  • I teach and facilitate contact and ensemble improv, including coordinating the weekly DC Sunday jam and helping to organize the yearly regional Spring East Coast CI jam.
  • I write about my fascination with spontaneous collaboration at http://myriadicity.net/contact-improvisation.

In addition to my personal website, I organize or help to organize and I develop and maintain dccontactimprov.net, eastcoastjam.com, and dcmovementresearch.net.
