As a leading promoter of “contact improvisation”, or CI, C.I.co （founded in 2000） has been engaged in various activities in Japan to create a better dance environment.
CI is a dance method that improvises performance from body communication and is an essential method to improve performer’s improvisation strengths.
C.I.co. explores the potential of improvisational performances while improving their improvisational performance quality.

C.I.co. is not particular about the format of performance and workshops. C.I.co.’s strength is to perform impromptu wherever they can come up with new ideas.
