Greetings from CI36 headquarters!

!!THE MAIN CI36 CELEBRATION (June 12-18, 2008) STILL HAS SPACE FOR YOU!! Registration

10 + 1 years after CI25...
We are excited to announce CI36—a special birthday celebration commemorating 36 years of Contact Improvisation at Juniata College in central Pennsylvania, USA.

Hosted by Juniata College in partnership with Contact Quarterly/Contact Collaborations, CI36 will be a time to appreciate Contact Improvisation’s history, to share in current research and practice, and to consider the trajectory of the form into the future.

Please join us to honor and celebrate the existence of CI at this international gathering of practitioners, teachers, students, performers, founders, and developers of the dance form. CI36 will make room for the diverse populations that practice and appreciate CI: the grass-roots communities, the performing artists, the academics, the anarchists, those new to the form and the veterans.

CI36 has two main components—a smaller Training Intensive June 8-12, 2008 (currently full) followed by the larger main event, CI36 Celebration June 12-18, 2008 (registration is open).

Joining us at the CI36 Celebration will be most of the Training Intensive Teachers, a tremendous gathering of devoted CI practitioners and teacher and several of the participants from the original Contact Improvisation performance in 1972. See the Events page for details.

!!CI36 CELEBRATION REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN!! Registration

CI36 will be linked to many CI36 Satellite Events occurring around the globe.

With this historic event, we hope to see Contact Improvisation into the next chapter with good cheer, curiosity, and momentum.

Please help spread the word about the historic CI36 Celebration by inviting your CI communities to register.

We look forward to seeing you at CI36!
