Contact Improvisation, Taiji, and Self-Rehabilitation: A Conversation with Mark Young
Mark Young talks with Laure about practice, the insights and healing from his engagement of dance and Taiji, and the natural propensity of the body to spiral towards health.
Mark is a teacher of Contact Improvisation and a practitioner of Taiji with 20 years of practice, and the director of Leviathan Studio, an off-grid space a place in nature to study movement, dance, and meditation, dedicated to Contact Improvisation, and committed to sustainable practices and permaculture serving organic local food whenever possible.
I had the pleasure of sitting down Mark Young during his recent visit to Montreal. Mark and I talk about his story, his injuries and rehabilitation, our practice of dance and martial arts, and the neural benefits of Contact.
Enjoy!
