The festival pushed boundaries and challenged, nurtured new talent and found surprising collaborations between dance forms. All of this innovation and creativity emerged from artists and the staff of SIDF (most of whom are artists) and offered a world of dance to Seattle. And all of this energy generated within our community is thanks to the artists that participated, the audiences that attended and the donors that supported, all of whom are needed to create the dynamic synergy the festival engenders. So thank you artists, thank you audiences and thank you supporters. We look forward to seeing you next year! ** $6,000 IN DEBT, WE NEED YOUR HELP ------------------------------------------------------------ The festival was left with a deficit of slightly over $6,000, we need your help to end the summer in the black. Your generosity will be matched one to one through the support of the ArtsFund's power2give program. ** Visit our power2give site here (http://KhambattaDance.us3.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=eb3973a4a6a90ff9a6aad2a6a&id=a9916b4d8f&e=f50fded2c2) ------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================ Photo credit (l-r): Cristina Lilienfeld, Ezra Thomson, Coriolis Dance, Experimentus by Barbara Cariry, Chevere, Maya Soto, Version Excursion, Revlock and Bindler by David Dowling, Sumeet Nagdev by Priyanka Desai and Jody Kuehner by Eric Paguio.

We want to offer a space to develop our moving body, deepen our understanding and personal journey into this dance through a longer period of time. This CI Training Program creates the opportunity to study Contact Improvisation systematically and continuously with a group of people we come to trust. It offers precise technique and support for the individual learning process. In the technical part of our investigation, we will work in smaller groups in order to offer ?tools? and material for people with different levels of experience. We seek to create space for individual interests and needs. In our work it is important to us to maintain the balance between a technical exploration as a development of a mutual language and the freedom of speaking this language ? dancing ? communicating, improvising, playing freely in dance. We are interested in how awareness, trust and feeling within the group will change, develop and grow ? how is our communication, our interaction and our actual way of being together influenced by our dance practice and our time together? This year we are excited to offer an ?open continuation? which will build on the experience and material of the previous CI Workshop Series in Hamburg. We want to create the opportunity to learn and play with a group of people sharing a common knowledge of CI. Nonetheless we would like to invite people who are interested in this kind of learning environment. We would like to offer inspiration and new material for dancers with more experience as well as opening an easy and welcoming entry for those who come in freshly. All participants will receive a certificate including the content of the training program.
