Rolling Point is inspired by the somatic practice of Contact Improvisation where through shared physical point of contact with another, an improvised movement dialogue is innovated. I'm your host Aaron Brandes, also known as Brando. I am joined by guest co-hosts as we interview artists, activists, and teachers who use the body as a lens to make sense of the complicated issues we are facing in the world today.
