Restorative Contact is a mindful body-centered empathy practice that developed from my choreographic explorations, my teaching of contact improv and my study of various somatic techniques including restorative yoga, tai chi, Klein technique, authentic movement, and deep listening. I will explain what Restorative Contact is and why touch is important for human development and wellbeing. My presentation will include background on SEX TAPE, a performance where the ‘found choreography’ between myself and a male lover, documented on video, was meticulously reconstructed with one significant change, replacing the man with a longtime female friend.
