Résumé
The aim of this article is to analyze the place of touch and sight within the pedagogy of the sensitive body in Contact Improvisation dance using contents of the journal Contact Quarterly’s educational section. We rely on the contributions of the philosophy and psychology of perception, with Merleau Ponty’s concepts of synesthesia and Gibson’s views on active touch and kinesthetic sight. The study allows identifying concepts, functions and techniques of sensory training applied to this dance form as well as highlighting tactile and visual capacities as dimensions that do not belong only to hands or eyes respectively, but involve the whole body as well.
