Initiated in 1972 by Steve Paxton, Contact Improvisation is an experimental dance form that plays with the laws of physics, through gravity and expansion, balance and decentring, inertia and impulse, and the modification of the forces involved. Sometimes acrobatic, sometimes delicate and slow, borrowing from the martial arts as much as from meditation and somatic practices, Contact Improvisation has many uses.

After a brief theoretical approach that presents the context in which today's filmed music projects are produced (resources, human and technical organisation, production constraints, etc.), in order to shed light on the difficulties and issues involved in working together to make a successful recording of music to image, the course is based on a series of exercises that are highly representative of the difficulties associated with the presence of image recording at the same time as sound recording. These exercises, taken from complex, real-life projects, will cover all the stages involved in completing a project.
