Contact Beyond Contact
Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a dance and healing practice
Contact Beyond Contact (CBC), is a dance and healing practice originally created by Vangelis Legakis, the founder and artistic director of Unity Space – an Arts and Healing Organisation based in Hong Kong.
CBC is a practice of finding safety in movement and connection so we can change how we show up in relationships — through leading, following, saying yes or no, and everything in between.
This practice weaves together different approaches to movement and embodied awareness, including Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation, Passing Through, Qi Gong, and Mindfulness.These practices are well-woven together to create a holistic integration of the Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit.
CBC offers a safe and supportive space to experience authentic connection, develop greater awareness of our own boundaries and needs, and discover new ways of relating through trust, presence, and embodied expression.
This practice will allow you to genuinely, energetically connect with yourself, an-other, the space you are working in and with nature; the world beyond the means of physical contact.
In CBC, movement and the shared energy, becomes the embodied communication for true connection, a metaphor for how we are in relationships, a practice for how we want to dance, grow through life, and co-create.

Who is this for?
The practices and tools of CBC are both simple and profound, making it an accessible and inclusive experience for people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures, bodies, and beliefs.
Each exploration unfolds through simple, progressive invitations within a safe container, where deep listening, consent, and respect for personal boundaries are at the heart of the experience.
🌿 No previous experience is needed—only curiosity and a willingness to explore.

How does a session unfold?
Each session unfolds as a journey through three complementary phases.
Arrive & Awaken: We begin with a gentle warm-up to arrive fully in the body, awaken the senses, and cultivate presence through movement.
Explore & Connect: Next, we enter a guided exploration through simple, progressive invitations inspired by the tools of Contact Beyond Contact. A space to explore the relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us through deep listening, curiosity, and respect.
Integrate & Dance: The session concludes with an Open Space Dance (Jam)—an open movement space with the entire group to integrate the experience and allow movement, connection, and creativity to emerge naturally.

Hi, I’m Guillaume 🌿
I deeply believe in the transformative power of free-form movement, which has led me to explore a variety of movement practices, including 5Rhythms, Contact Improvisation, and Contact Beyond Contact.
On one hand, I have been facilitating regular Ecstatic Dance sessions since 2024 in Barcelona, Montseny, and Girona under the name DJ Edulis. I trained with Albert Pala between 2023 and 2024. You can listen to my waves on Mixcloud.
Alongside this, I am beginning to offer Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) sessions as a creative way to explore how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us through movement. I have been training with Vangelis Legakis, the creator of CBC, since 2026, and I am a Level 1 Certified Contact Beyond Contact Facilitator.
