The DC Contact Jam will be performing "Clouds & Rain", a nine minute structured improvisation to a new improivised musical score composed by Steve Gorn, renowned Indian Bansuri flute player. Clouds & Rain uses the Mandala spatial structure developed by Barbara Dilley, one of the Judson Church post modern dance pioneers, as the "container" for the performance of contact improvisation by members of the DC Contact Improv Jam. Contact Improv solos and duets invoke the formation of clouds and the rain drops that quench the thirst of Mother Earth, supported by improvised music based on Indian Monsoon ragas.
