Emma Bigé, practices, teaches and improvises dance and philosophy. They live nomadically between Paris, Aix-en-Provence and some destinations that can be reached by train. They fell in love with experimental dance practices in Europe and the United States, influenced by Steve Paxton, Lisa Nelson, Nancy Stark Smith, Matthieu Gaudeau and many others. Their obsession, at the moment: to find, in dance and elsewhere, the somatopolitical resources to mobilize our sensibilities to other and more-than-human creatures.

The Rolling Point is a fundamental mode of physical communication within Contact Improvisation dance. CI inspires a deep physical listening, one that balances sensing one’s internal space while engaging other bodies across conflict and intimacy. We interview artists, activists, teachers, and improvising human beings to discuss the politics and poetics of purposeful embodiment. Using the body as our lens to make sense of the complicated issues we are facing in the world today, we try to get deep into the cells of our conversations and see if we can find a new unknown place together.
