Together we will create an environment for conscious dances and embodied discussions, where each can bring and process their questions with the support and the explorative and curious mind of the whole group. We welcome people who dance, teach, perform CI, who bring it into other artistic and social contexts, and thus develop CI further and keep it alive. If you care about the physicality, the history and the philosophy of CI, and hours of dancing, if sharing time and experience, questions, visions and wishes with your peers sounds like heaven to you, we would be honored and happy if you want to come and join us for this week. This week is a chance to create a place where our creativity, diversity and the art of dancing CI teach us how life can be an always changing, challenging and playful exchange. A place where life is art. Elske, Heike and Gesine will facilitate this week. With our structure/schedule we will provide the skeleton for the week, with our questions and visions we already give it some core muscles and we will need you to bring flesh and nerves, organs and juice to it so it can be alive and moving. So please bring your questions, scores, experiments and curiosities to share. Writing them down and sending them to us with your application, will be your contribution to prepare for the week. We will collect them, get a first idea of our collective mind and find a way to present them to the whole group when we will meet. >From there we will move through the week together. Application Process:Send us an email where you explain how and since when CI is part of your life; and also write down your curiosities, questions, ideas around CI and what else you would like to offer and share with us during the week.

We are the *Contact Improvisation Collective (CIC) at Burning Man*, a major part of Camp Contact & Anahasana Village. The Contact Improvisation Collective is a group of dancers committed to evolving Contact Improvisation at Burning Man through teaching classes, hosting jams, playa performance crusades, and maintaining the CI presence at center camp every morning. Camp Contact has a strong crew coming from all over the world and is working toward several new amenities and infrastructure for a dialed BM experience, including: A bamboo dance floor!!!! A foam dojo-styled floor 3 domes for class offerings A chilly chilled swamp cooler A steam bath plenty of shaded space for camping and a well-established kitchen Check out our website http://burningman.campcontact.org.

I'll be setting brand-new choreography on students. The week will have an immediate, exploratory feel as this material is very new to me. I'm still investigating where each movement originates in the body and how attack, repetition and causal connection will inform vocabulary, phrasing and choreography. I'm interested in how dancers inhabit the stage, so will devote time to exercises in personal presence and focus. The material is abstract and geometrical; full of momentum, falling and quick directional changes. Once the group has naturalized the movement into their bodies they will help me try out some structures. There may be windows for improvisational experiments, too. 2) What do you plan to do with the work once created (aside from perform at SIDF)? This is the first manifestation of my newest evening-length dance piece, "Keep On Smiling That Beautiful Smile" (working title). I'll partner with a cinematographer friend to make a high quality video document of the work during SIDF. I'll cast the piece later this summer and rehearse for 18 months. I'm in early discussions with several presenters around the country about possibilities for touring the work in the 2015-16 season and beyond. 3) What might be of particular interest to students about the process? As a self-trained choreographer who has been making and touring dance for more than 25 years, my choreography is unusual. It's challenging and eccentric and requires a great deal of detail work, speed and precision. Most dancers seem to find my choreography rewarding and fun to perform. 4) Anything else of interest I often make dance theater work that incorporates text, props and video. In the last few years I've delved into some pressing social themes in my work. However, this piece represents a pendulum swing for me and is probably the most abstract dance piece of my career so far.
