Abstract

This article aims at approaching a particular choreutic phenomenon of the Seventies, the contact improvisation, beginning from the revaluation of the body by the hand of some thinkers of the XX century and, in particular, by the philosophical analysis of Merleau-Ponty. With the study of this form of dance through the paradigm of enbodiement, we can observe how it becomes a place to live the encounter with the other through the experience of being a body.
