[[Dance improvisation]] as a [[choreography|choreographic]] tool: Improvisation is used as a choreographic tool in [[dance composition]]. Experimenting with the concepts of shape, space, time, and energy while moving without inhibition or cognitive thinking can create unique and innovative movement designs, spatial configuration, dynamics, and unpredictable rhythms. Improvisation without inhibition allows the choreographer to connect to their deepest creative self, which in turn clears the way for pure invention. This cognitive inhibition is similar to the inhibition described by Limb for musical improvisation, which can be found in the music section above.

[[Contact improvisation]]: a form developed in 1973, that is now practiced around the world. Contact improvisation originated from the movement studies of Steve Paxton in the 1970s and developed through the continued exploration of the [[Judson Dance Theater]]. It is a dance form based on weight sharing, partnering, playing with weight, exploring negative space and unpredictable outcomes.
