About Li Yong Wei 

Join veteran Li Yong Wei as he shares his extensive knowledge of contact improvisation through a 3-day intensive workshop. Be introduced or re-introduced to a system of movement both as a communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact, along with their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion; as well as an open-ended exploration of the kinesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through contact.
