Abstract

This chapter explores the process and values of contact unwinding, a major practice of the Shin Somatics method, which employs movement-based teaching through touch. 'Contact Unwinding' is an exploration between partners, which is performed in an improvisational dance context. The practice invites the inner self to instinctively express itself outwardly in a spontaneous unfolding of intuitive movement or dance. In this way, 'Contact Unwinding' interweaves dance and somatics, connecting us intimately with our moving or dancing body.
