Practice & Facilitation: Tongge Kang began her exploration of Contact Improvisation within the Beijing CI community in 2018. She is a curator and teacher for BJCI (Beijing Contact Improvisation) and a co-founder of "Thursday Afternoon" TALab (Somatic & Kinesthetic Laboratory). Rooted in improvisation, somatic philosophy, and body awareness, the laboratory examines the nexus of consciousness and performance, extending these inquiries into the fabric of daily life.

• 2020: Participated in the Contact Improvisation Festival in Goa, India.

• 2021–2022: Served as a facilitator for open classes at the Touch CI Community Conference.

• Current: A core member of the Body On&On "Body Nomadism" project.

• 2023–2025: Multiple residencies and intensives at Towards CI51 in Thailand.

Philosophy of Movement: To inhabit a silence that is at once inquisitive, vibrant, and abundant. In the continuum of self-exploration, she perpetually shifts between different "roles," allowing the flow of consciousness to weave seamlessly with physical spontaneity. Her practice is a profound investigation into the art of relating: how to dwell in togetherness, and how to cultivate a deeper independency.

Everything is in a perpetual state of flux. Perhaps the process of searching for meaning is, in itself, the very essence of that meaning. It is a journey of fluid realization.

I maintain a radical openness toward exploration—a commitment to "serious play." I am eager to engage with diverse media; whether it be a deck of cards, a physical object, or a sound, each serves as a portal for entry and empowerment. Currently, my deepest fascination lies in the mechanics of autonomy: how one discovers their own intrinsic momentum.
