Welcome to Faces of CI - conversations in Contact.
Peter Bingham is a force within the world of Contact Improvisation, teaching and creating performance works through his company EDAM Dance in Vancouver, Canada since 1980.
In this episode we discuss his origin story in dance, the physical mechanics of Contact in terms of choreography, his daily morning class for professional dancers, intone voice as hypnotizing state, leading by following, and changes for him with Parkinson's disease.
"EDAM is a place for Contact. And Contact has a place at EDAM. And hopefully that will go on - ad nauseum."
EDAM Dance has been a nest held by Peter, a thread holding a big part of the contact world. It's floors hold "Contact energy" having been graced by Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith, Ray Chung, Nita Little, and many other high level dancers for decades. // Find EDAM's Schedule at www.edamdance.org // Faces of CI and Aalia online //
