Contact is one of those creative drugs. For those with the jones, nothing else will do. It's the most self indulgent of the improvised modern dance forms, but that impulse is tempered by the collaborative elements of movement, balance and support. Its audience is typically people who have studied dance from a young age and then in college. Yes, modern dance is obscure. Tonight the group Lavamonkey, from Chicago, incorporates improvisors Charles Campbell, Stefanie Cohen, Carl Grimm, Erica Hagen, Mark Koenig, and Luv Seamon from Portland, Olympia, Santa Fe, New York, and Ann Arbor. They perform with Portland's Touchmonkey, Patrick Gracewood and Carolyn Stuart. Afterwards, the audience is invited to jam. 8pm (doors open at 7:30- first come, first seated!)
