Tumblebones is a group of 7 people who are passionately committed to CI as a practice for exploring and expanding our humanness. Working with the principles of CI as a base for our physical practice, we incorporate elements of dance improvisation and composition, and theater. What thrills us is dancing, dancing together. We consistently explore CI, which is for us simultaneously athletic and artistic. Our “mission” is to explore the core principles of CI, to nurture our evolving friendships, and to delight in the gifts that build from dancing regularly. Moving together year after year has deepened our way of working, refined our interests, and established a container for exploring our “one wild and precious life.”

is a new multimedia collective based in Baltimore, Maryland. Collective artists meet regularly to train and experiment, toward empathy through performance not only toward collaborative projects, but also in their own mediums. Training in Authentic Movement and Contact Improvisation is the base of support on which these core members meet. The way these movement forms support individual and interpersonal growth enliven our artists and our community to further commune with self and therefore encourage our audiences to do the same. Collective Artists delve into the questions like: How can we encourage audiences to look with in themselves and their experience? How can we encourage our audience to be witness to their emotions? How can we employ empathy as a revolutionary act?
