To move within physics is to realize your body. To dance with  
chemistry is to accept your soul. Combining both could be the most  
exhilarating thing you have ever done. Touch&Play (2010)


To all you Contacters, Touchers and Players out there,

In this second edition of the T&P Festival and first edition of the  
T&P experiment we hope to take you on a journey exploring the  
(al)chemical edges of Contact Improvisation. We ask ourselves what  
happens when we stop ‘dancing’ contact and just start doing it. Can we  
look beyond the weight sharing, lifts and spirals and find the essence  
of what it means to be in Contact with someone?

The Touch&Play Festival takes place from 23-27 June in Cardona, a  
picturesque little village an hour from Barcelona, in a large 14th  
century aristocratic home converted into an arts centre. Intensive  
teachers include Felix Ruckert (Germany), Jess Curtis (USA), Karl  
Frost (USA), Astiko (Germany/Spain), Jessica Walker (Chile/Spain) &  
Benno Voorham (Netherlands/Sweden). Workshops, labs and more will also  
be provided by the T&P researchers from the Touch&Play Experiment  
(18-22 June)

This is the current research line-up:
Robert Anderson (Playful Physics)
Koen van Bisbrouck (Pyschology)
Jocasta Crofts (CI & Tantra)
Rachel Dean (consensus / Safer Spaces)
Xavier Ferreres (Movements of the Soul)
Daniel Hayes (Seduction)
Ralf Jaroshinski (The Soft Man)
Marina Kronkvist (Appetite)
Guto Macedo (Authentic Contact)
Daniel Mang (Post-romantic Dance)
Saskia Mieszkalski (The Bonobo Garden)
Adriana Pegorer (Contango)
Linda Priha (Surrender)
Dieter Rehberg (Idiolect)
Dana Salisbury (Dark Dining)

Joe Stoller (Mutual Bodywork)
Paulina Swiecanska (Jealousy)
Marina Tsartsara (Framing the Senses)
Ulli Witteman (Strong/Bad Contact)
Jamus Wood & Lee Bolton (Undercurrents)

More researchers will be chosen in April. To apply www.2011.touchandplay.org/what/experiment/

After the Festival, Karl Frost will be running a 4-day Intensive  
called “The Poetics of Touch” from 29th June to 2nd July  (www.2011.touchandplay.org/post-festival-intensive-by-karl-frost)

Festival registration opens 12 midnight GMT on Sunday 20 March
Due to the size of the venue there are fewer places available than  
last year, so we expect them to sell out quickly!
