UNDERSCORE
The Underscore is a framework for practicing Contact Improvisation within a group improvisation setting and in a concentrated atmosphere with the whole group beginning and ending together. The frame suggests moving through a series of “changing states”, from solo deepening/releasing and sensitizing to gravity and support; through group circulation and interaction, contact improvisation engagements, opening out to full space improvisation with compositional awareness, and back to rest and reflection. It encourages the integration of kinesthetic and compositional concerns while improvising and encourages participants to balance listen to both self and other on multiple layers. It was developed by Nancy Stark Smith in the 1990s. For participants who haven’t received a theoretical introduction the talk-through before the Underscore is mandatory. CI-dancers who have heard the talk-through can come after the lecture, but are also encouraged to listen to the it again, as taking another look at the map that the score provides can bring a fresh perspective, even when the frame itself is known.
