NATARAJ HAUSER

Nataraj began doing contact improv dance in 2003, after the aches and pains of two decades of martial arts encouraged him to find a new hobby.  The ensuing years were filled with taking every class, workshop, and extended jam experience that he could fit into his life without ruining either his 20-year marriage or his logistics career in corporate America.  The playful, improvisational nature of contact improv has changed the way Nataraj approaches life.  He is no longer worried about navigating the twisting, uncertain landscape of life after learning that he can trust his experiences and intuition to find a path regardless of his current position.  Trust, and a good life-partner like his wife Reena, and dance-partner like Megan, can open many avenues leading to amazing and creative things.  His exploration of dance has also led him to also pursue aerial dance under the tutelage of Cycropia Aerial Dance in Madison, WI, and ecstatic dance wherever there is a bonfire.

MEGAN BROWN

Megan discovered Contact Improv 10 years ago in a college theater program. It helped her change how she thinks of relationships and how she responds to the surrounding. Megan uses it to maneuver a little closer to a mindful life, and to perform improvised works with Nataraj. Contact improv has brought her to the practice many types of movement, including hatha yoga, aerial dance, and stiltwalking.
