 nderscore\, which has been evolving since 1990\, is a vehicle for incorpor
 ating Contact Improvisation into the broader arena of improvisational danc
 e practice\; developing greater ease dancing in spherical space—alone an
 d with others\; and for integrating kinesthetic and compositional aspects 
 while improvising. It allows for a full spectrum of energetic and physical
  expressions\, embodying a range of forms and changing states. Its practic
 e is familiar yet unpredictable.\n\nThe practice progresses through a broa
 d range of dynamic states\, including long periods of very small\, private
 \, and quiet internal activity and other times of higher energy and intera
 ctive dancing.\n\nThere are 20+ phases\, 12+ connections\, and 7 aspects o
 f the Underscore—each with a name and a graphic symbol—which create a 
 general map for the dancers. Within that frame\, dancers are free to creat
 e their own movements\, dynamics\, and relationships—with themselves\, e
 ach other\, the group\, and the environment. Each Underscore is unique\, p
 roviding rich and often inspiring experiences of the human and artistic ph
 enomena of dance improvisation.\n\nhttps://globalunderscore.com/\nhttps://
