Description This thesis explores the use of contact improvisation in the creative process. I discuss my personal history with the form and how it became my main focus in movement research. A brief history and limited descriptions of the aesthetics of contact improvisation and Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) are also addressed. For my creative research, I applied concepts from Laban Movement Analysis to Contact in an effort to uncover the more expressive possibilities within the form. Finally, I share the several personal insights I gained through the practice of contact improvisation, as well as its application to the creative processes of choreography and performance.
