CQ - a vehicle for moving ideas

Dear Friend of Contact Quarterly,

Contact Quarterly has survived and thrived for over thirty years by being a model of a different kind. Independent, beholden only to its readers and writers, CQ brings you the unselfconscious voices of dance artists at work.

As a communication hub and scribe of new ideas in dance and improvisation, CQ has served you—a dynamic, international network of dancers and dancemakers, movement educators and somatic practitioners, the body-conscious, the environmentally and socially concerned, and yes, the "ordinary" person moved to dance and write to us about it.

We continue to look at ways to build a sustainable future without compromising our basic values. CQ, miraculously in this day and age, is reader-supported—we count on your subscriptions and now, more than ever, your generous donations to our annual appeal. Help keep this extraordinary "vehicle for moving ideas" moving forward. Your contribution makes a difference.

Sincerely,

Nancy Stark Smith
Coeditor/Codirector
Lisa Nelson

I value CQ as a voice in print that is not trying to sell or market dance. It's a down home trade journal that is archiving the essence of people's real thinking and doing, a publication that is worth having on the shelf after that quarter, year, or even decade has passed.
