Angela Heyun creates spaces for moving at the pace of being and feeling, where awareness, connection, and creativity emerge together. She is devoted to everything embodiment and improvisation - all the ways we inhabit ourselves, meet life, cultivate presence and imagination, and make choices as humans together.
Angela facilitates worldwide for Contact Beyond Contact, a dance and healing practice for interpersonal growth, created by Unity Space. CBC integrates dance modalities including Authentic Movement (Solo), Contact Improvisation (Duet), and Passing Through (Group), with healing modalities including Qi Gong, Thai Massage, Family Constellations, philosophies of Taoism and Buddhism, & more.
Angela is a teacher and organizer of Contact Improvisation. Her approach focuses on the relational and collective, primarily influenced by Nita Little and Nancy Stark Smith. She co-organizes CalCITE (California Contact Improvisation Teachers Exchange), SWCI (South West Contact Improvisation Jam), and CI in Las Vegas.
Angela has also begun teaching improvised partner dance practices, including Fusion, Microfusion, and Brazilian Zouk, presenting in festivals in the US and Europe. She draws inspiration from a diverse range of forms, including Argentine Tango, Butoh, Contemporary Dance, Embodied Theatre, and Tai Chi.
