Subject: [CI-Announce] Martin Keogh: Contact Improvisation news and itinerary
Message-ID: <19a.3b2c9f8b.3047b3b5@aol.com>


Hello to all,

This is my twice-yearly itinerary and news update. If you would like to be 
taken off this list, please press 'reply' and put 'remove' in the subject line. 
Thanks.

The big news: after eight years of seeking a publisher, my book: As Much Time 
as it Takes: A Guide for the Bereaved, Their Family and Friends, arrives in 
bookstores on October 31st. Rumi translator, Coleman Barks, says of the book, 
"this is a practical handbook for the bereaved and their friends, how to live 
with grief, to express it or not, how to find your natural way through. And the 
quotations from Neruda, Machado, Dickinson and others are beautifully 
chosen."

It's long overdue but finally http://www.martinkeogh.com has been updated. 
You will find new contact improvisation articles, links, and a revised 
itinerary. A summary of workshop locations is below.

I look forward to seeing you on a dance floor somewhere in the world,?

Martin Keogh

Workshops calendar:

ANDREW HARWOOD and JUDIT KERY
26 - 30 OCTOBER 
EMPTYING, LANDING, SOARING
*
*
An intensive Improvisation \ Contact Improvisation workshop 
max. 20 participants
(27 hours workshop)** 

Focusing on: gravity/levity - relaxation/activity -
center/periphery - the spine and the senses

Performance Saturday October 29 

*We begin by arriving in the space physically, emotionally and mentally, 
alone, in pairs and collectively. To be ready for the present moment, we 
empty ourselves so that we can learn and receive,
explore and experience, give and take. We build a connection with our body 
on a deeper level, we let go and relax fully into a spacious sense of time 
which allows for various activities to come into play, we explore gravity 
and the inner energy which comes from our center and moves through our whole 
body right to the periphery. 
We will spend special attention to the relationship of the head/tail 
connection and strengthen the relationship of the center to the extremities 
of the body so that our take-offs and landings and our traveling through 
space are all brave, smooth and safe. Breath, relaxation and letting go is 
directly connected to being grounded and centered while moving dynamically.
Each day we will practice a specific Contact skill and work with enlivening 
the senses so that we can be really open to finding immediate creative 
solutions.
Tuning, toning and enlivening our entire being, creates a state of readiness 
which leads us to fuller, vibrant, connected dancing. We can then enjoy the 
richness of our dancing alone, in pairs and as agroup. We will also have 
opportunities to perform for each other, to view, discuss and share the work 
at hand.
*

ROSSELLA FIUMI
27 - 31 OCTOBER 
SCORES FOR IMPROVISING IN CONTACT
*
*
Composition in improvisation performances
max. 20 participants
(18 hours workshop)

Performance Sunday October 30 
*

*
*The Score is an ensemble of rules and parameters to which the dancers 
respond as they develop their awareness through improvisation and 
instantaneous composition. 
The object of the workshop is to make the participants more aware of and to 
develop their capacities for perception and observation in movement, to 
facilitate group tuning, to interact with the environment and integrate 
these qualities in improvisation.
The purpose of this work is also that of producing a language based on 
observation and the ability to make decisions that become actions and to 
organize independently a dance, or an ensemble of physical actions.
Introducing the world of sensations into the creative work.
Developing different ways in and out of Contact. 
Developing skills throughout release imagery exercises and gradually 
incorporating them into improvised dances.
Allowing for different dances to unfold in a supportive environment with 
time to sit out and watch, and space for individual needs.
Work will be done in solo, in group and in duet form.

MARCIA PLEVIN
30 OCTOBER - 1 NOVEMBER 
AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT
*

*To Move and Be Moved* 
*max. 16 participants
(14 hours workshop)
Orientation and elaboration in Authentic Movement 

Evening of October 31: Forum with video projections and discussion on 
Authentic Movement
**
*The inclusion of the discipline of Authentic Movement in the dance of 
Contact Improvisation serves to enrich the sources from which a mover can 
move or be moved. 
We come together in pairs or groups, we come to find out what is already in 
us waiting to emerge, we come knowing that we don't know what we will do. 
Our purpose is to awaken that part of us that is our internal witness, which 
observes and participates in moving from the tiniest physical impulse to the 
most complex physical expression. 
Being "present" in the moment with exactly what is you will practice 
witnessing yourself as you will-fully move, surrender to personal or group 
movement by being moved, or as you remain in stillness. You will learn the 
beginnings of a discipline that brings consciousness to how the whisper of a 
breath may lead to doing or non-doing, and which leads ultimately to knowing 
oneself. 
We will learn and practice through a particular form of Authentic Movement 
called the "Ground Form" in which seeing and being seen and the relationship 
we have to ourselves and others are central points of focus. 
Being present and in contact with yourself you will wake up to the deepest 
resources within which can spark spontaneity, clarity and recognition of the 
when, where and how you move or don't move.
Authentic Movement is based on the relationship between a person who is 
moving [the mover] and a person who observes [the witness], on the 
experience of seeing and being seen, the restitution of past experiences. 
Sharing through movement, words or design opens new deep poetic spaces in 
the individual and collective psyche, enriching personal and interpersonal 
experience.
In learning to turn a receptive attention to our kinesthetic, sensorial and 
emotional flow, with eyes shut we can let our spontaneous and self-directed 
movement flow.
In learning how to recognize and to let go of the impediments that obscure 
the free flow of being, the body will be seen as an alchemical container, 
aware that this is where the transformation mind/body/spirit takes place.

*Objectives of the laboratory:
- the discovery and development of the active presence of the inner witness;
- attention concentrated on the constant flow of being both in movement and 
in immobility;
- exploration of our relationship with the contents emerging in the 
practice.
Brief notes on the history of the Authentic Movement
*The roots of the discipline lie in Jung's concept of Active Imagination. 
The movement developed in the early 1960s in the United States and is the 
result of the encounter of the dance movement therapy and depth psychology 
in the person of Mary Starks Whitehouse. 
Two main currents branched off from her teachings: one refers to the work of 
Joan Chodorow, a Jungian analyst and dance movement therapist, and the other 
the proposal of Janet Adler, a dance movement therapist andPh.D. in mystical 
practices. 
Plevin refers to J. Adler's teachings.
