Autor

A veteran practitioner of Contact Improvisation, Ann Cooper Albright is Professor of Dance at Oberlin College. Combining her interests in dancing and cultural theory, Albright teaches a variety of courses that seek to engage students in both practices and theories of the body. She is the author of Simone Forti: Improvising a Life (2024), as well as How to Land: Finding ground in an Unstable World which offers ways of thinking about and dealing with the uncertainty of our contemporary lives. She has also authored the following: Engaging Bodies: The Politics and Poetics of Corporeality; Modern Gestures: Abraham Walkowitz Draws Isadora Duncan Dancing; Traces of Light: Absence and Presence in the Work of Loïe Fuller; and Choreographing Difference: the Body and Identity in Contemporary Dance. She facilitated Critical Mass: CI @ 50 which brought 300 dancers from across the world to learn, talk, and dance together in celebration of the 50th anniversary of this extraordinary form.

The book Encounters with Contact Improvisation is the product of one of her adventures in writing and dancing and dancing and writing with others. Her work has been supported by the NEA, NEH, ACLS, The Guggenheim Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, and the Ohio Arts Council.
