Physical Improvisation

Physical Improvisation is a form of improvisational performance practice in which participants spontaneously generate and organize movement, gesture, and bodily interaction in real time, typically without predetermined choreography or text, in order to explore the kinesthetic, spatial, and relational possibilities of the body in performance.
