Swayin? Funk Bump Afro Gospel Sacred Soulful Blues Chant Jam Feelin? Hi Mash-up ?Goes to unforeseen destinations of hilarity, weirdness, extraordinary harmony, & transcendence.? The Singing Soul is spontaneous, in-the-moment singing, the unveiling of our very uniqueness in melody, harmony and rhythm...our stories, in words, and beyond them. It?s for those who are ready to let go of "getting it right" and to embrace letting it just happen. Unrehearsed singing evokes the genuine and soulful voice. By turns edgy, hilarious, challenging, and deeply moving, each moment is an original composition that is unrehearsed, precious and irreplaceable. And as fate would have it, it's also profoundly fun! There's no wrong notes and nothing to memorize, just breathe and sing...ahh. This utterly experiential course is a powerful experience of improvised music making and of being alive and present. A wide variety of clearly outlined structures are offered, for the full group, small groups, duets and soloing; each of which generates different experiences and outcomes. Sessions are punctuated with pauses to process our learnings together. Participants will hone the arts of the improviser: deep listening, spontaneous expression, fluid awareness of self and others, working with change, and trusting intuition. You'll strengthen your abilities as a vocal musician in creating melodies and harmonies, laying down vocal percussion grooves and bass lines, and gelling with others in creating freewheeling counterpoint that just begs a soloist - then becoming that too! Experience new roles and genres in your music-making. The synergy of improvisation inspires and empowers as singers discover utterly new terrain vocally, musically, and expressively. Statement on ?The Singing Soul? - Performance The Singing Soul: Improvisational A Cappella is a vehicle for authentic expression, creative collaboration, and empowerment. Improvisation is an expression, a necessity, a liberation, and a homecoming, reminding us that each moment holds a hundred possibilities. Participants in The Singing Soul workshop share their process and sounds and in doing so, evoke our shared sense of humanity, adventure and connectedness. The line between audience and performer disappears repeatedly as roles switch and music comes alive in everyone present. DAVID HATFIELD David Hatfield is a singer, leadership consultant and facilitator specializing in creativity, communication and masculinity. He has taught The Singing Soul internationally since 1997. http://www.davidhatfield.ca/bio.php FEE: 150 Euro REGISTER: per email to xs4jan at gmx.de SLEEPING: We can host up workshop participants basic opportunities to stay overnight.

Klein Technique as taught by Barbara Mahler In the morning portion of this workshop we will focus on a movement technique that works with the premise that the requirements of movement in daily life and dance are essentially the same, and will provide the underpinnings to support all styles of movement/technique and improvisation. The purpose of the ?stretch and placement? class is to re-educate one's body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical, intellectual, and organic level. The result is a clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of the body. It has its roots in 30 plus years of investigating and teaching the essentials for efficient body use. We work at the level of the bone, not the traditional level of the muscles. In order to move most efficiently it is necessary to let go of the muscles that hold us back from moving and fix the body into a set and locked configuration. When the bones are aligned we become connected, powerful and strong. The body becomes efficient and alive. In the afternoon class we will focus on the practice of the principles explored in the morning, working with improvisation and movement exploration, leading us towards the formulation of an informal performance/showing. The movement will be created by the participants of the workshop. One of the ideas we will work with are various initiations in the body to better facilitate movement sequencing, becoming both grounded and free. As the work also focuses on helping each individual student work with their own body structure we will enjoy both a consistency and surprise in the our movement. The workshop will culminate in a showing/performance on Friday, July 16th at 8:30 pm with a solo dance ?Dance on scatterings? ? performed by Barbara Mahler and a group piece with the students. BARBARA MAHLER Barbara Mahler has taught daily classes for 27 years plus, educating and teaching (with, and inspired by, Susan Klein) a generation of dancers. She has traveled extensively around the globe, teaching/ performing/choreographing, widely respected and. active in the development contemporary dance technique. Essentially self-taught, she brings to her classes the perspective, understanding and experience of working on her own movement re-education. Barbara was a Movement Research artist in residence for the 2000-01 and 2006-08 season, is a movement consultant at Hunter College, NYC, and is on the artist advisory board of BAX. She is a recent graduate from the MFA program at the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She also maintains a private practice in Zero Balancing and other healing modalities. ?Mahler, a noted teacher, views dance training as a voyage of self- discovery. Barbara Mahler roots her choreography in distillation, as if she aims to extract the essence of her ideas, making them calmer and purer. The image is that of a seesaw in perfect, unwavering equilibrium, a woman at ease in control.?(Village Voice 2007) MORE: http://www.barbaramahler.net FEE: 150 Euro REGISTER: per email to xs4jan at gmx.de SLEEPING: We can host up workshop participants basic opportunities to stay overnight.

They use the dancer as a medium to bring he or she towards a broader definition of the performer. Their productions enact excess and provide a critique of scenic and theatrical conventions. Their work is produced and presented in both the fine arts and dance networks. http://www.lesgensduterpan.com The educational work that the choreographers propose has a direct connection to their X-Event creations but is also open to other experimentation. On this level the work radicalises the person in terms of their presence, their prospective aptitudes as well as their capacity to confront different forms of exhibition. It is approached in the form of successive workshops. The sessions are designed according to the group involved and the physical and contextual levels of experimentation it can attain. The work pays particular attention to the group and to the transgression of space as a vector of innovative confrontation. Each session plays upon an accepted consciousness of the choreographer. This realisation makes the dancer accept to act according to the orders her or she has been given, which shifts the framework and functioning of his or her responsibility as a performer. Participation in the workshops requires a great deal of dedication, audacity and capitulation. It relies on the sensitive and concrete experience of one's body as a physical and social tool. A tool for exploration as well as confrontation. An individual testing of one's limits. A session lasts a minimum of three hours Ideal number of participants : 15 BIOGRAPHIES : Annie Vigier is born in 1965 and Franck Apertet in 1966. They live and work in Paris. Under the generic title Les gens d?Uterpan, they have developed creations focusing on experimentation. The body and the relations between interprets and public are thought through the exhibition frameworks, the context and the architectural space. Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet collaborate regularly to projects which put in situation the image of the body and its physicality (theatre, cinema, advertising, fashion). Since September 2008, Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet (les gens d?Uterpan) are in residency at the Centre d?Art Contemporain of Br?tigny. www.cacbretigny.com FEE: 150 Euro REGISTER: per email to xs4jan at gmx.de SLEEPING: We can host up workshop participants basic opportunities to stay overnight.

The Festival is organized as a 5 day laboratory with presentations, skill and theory sharing, discussion, jams, and performances. Outside of the official morning presentation times, the distinction between presenter/teacher and other participants disappears, creating an environment where all are encouraged to pursue the path of their own curiousities.

The Dancing Wilderness Labs are organized as a mixture of wilderness backpacking trip and dance workshop/laboratory exploring: * Nature as source of metaphor and inspiration for movement and image * Quiet experience of nature as food for the soul * Finding a different sense of space, time, and relationship away from civilization * Dance not simply about the environment, but with it * Extrapolating our knowledge and practice of dance and creative process in the studio to new environments: forest and mountain top as the stage and earth, pine needles, and rock as the floor. The trips are experiential explorations meant to feed our ongoing creative process and to expand appreciation of our place in the larger natural world -- an organic flow of structured and open time, hiking and dancing, group time and space for quietly receptive experience. In the calm opening of the senses that prolonged time in the wilderness brings, we find a more direct connection with our body and surroundings. Principles and structures from Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, and other interdisciplinary awareness and creative practices serve to give us a base from which we explore in the spirit of open laboratory, both as a group and as individuals. While all are assumed to have some previous exposure to both body-based creative explorations and wilderness time, there are usually a variety of levels of experience with people bringing with them different strengths, some more experienced movers, some with more wilderness experience. The trip fees are $395 -$500 sliding scale, $295 for early enrollment. Carpooling to the trailhead from Seattle. Fees include breakfasts and dinners, though we all share in the work of meal prep and clean and hiking in food. everyone is expected to have their own gear and to take care of their own snacks and lunch. Trip finishes at Goldmyer Hot Springs For more information, go to www.bodyresearch.org/dancingwilderness or write to info at bodyresearch.org Karl Frost is the artistic director of Body research and Founded the Dancing Wilderness Project in 1997 as a venue for performance and experiential movement laboratory in nature.
