How to inhabit all experiences as they arise.\nWe will experience roles as mover and wit ness\, bringing attention to performing Contact Improvisation duets and en sembles using four forms\; breath\, continuous movement\, large/loud trave lling\, outbursts."\n\nRuth Janssen UK\n\n\nFor 15 years Ruth danced profe ssionally with some of Britain's leading dance makers\, touring extensivel y nationally and internationally\, and had work toured with dance and thea tre companies in Britain and Italy\, India and China\, Malta and Finland.
