CI
Training Program 2015/16
Hamburg
(Germany)
Elske Seidel and Daniel Werner
In
our CI Training Program we wish to take the intensive experience of a
workshop into a longer process, opening a field of continuous
learning, relating and dancing with each other in an on-going group.
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, somatic movement
research (learning from within) 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 Training
Program in Hamburg. We want to create the opportunity to learn and
play with a group of people sharing a common knowledge of CI. At the
same time 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.

Daniel
and Elske share many years of friendship, uncountable jams
and dances. Their mutual fascination for Contact Improvisation
provides the center in both their lives. In 2003 they co-founded the
ContAct Dance Company, investigating CI as a source for performance
work, with a special interest in site-specific art. Both work as
independent artists, somatic movement researchers and dancers; both
have extensive experience in teaching CI internationally, as well as
organizing and facilitating large CI events. They are co-organizers
of both the Contact Festival Fuerteventura, since 2009, and the North
Sea CI Camp. www.canarian.contactfestival.info
In
cooperating for the Training Program in Hamburg they wish to combine
their creative energy and interests, support and inspire each other
and every single one coming.
Daniel
Werner studied Dance, Contact Improvisation, Body-Mind
Centering and other Somatic Methods and Practises with various
teachers, and works internationally in this field since ?97 as a
dancer, teacher and director. He graduated in contemporary dance at
the North Karelia College in Finland. Furthermore he is a teacher for
Qigong and Tai Chi in the line of Master Mantak Chia.
Also
he is involved in the following
projects: www.dancecontact.de, www.contact-meets-contemporary.de, www.bodymindpresence.de, www.in-touch.es,www.easterimprofestival.info, www.canarian.contactfestival.info
Elske
Seidel, based in Berlin, is a passionate CI dancer & teacher,
deeply committed to CI and its community internationally. She has
been teaching dance full time and wholeheartedly for two decades,
contact since 2004. In her teaching she is interested in ?opening
spaces where dance in all its magic and play can happen?.
She
likes to create CI events which bring the studio focus outside into
nature and into the experience. She enjoys gathering community
merging life and dance together.
She has taught CI in Europe,
Canada, the U.S., Argentina, Israel, Russia and Japan.

DANCE YOUR QUESTIONS - CI RESEARCH WEEK
27.9.-4.10.2015 Arlequi (Spain)
This week is an invitation to experienced CI-practitioners for whom CI is an important part of their life and a practice to learn from - not only about the physics of our moving bodies, but also about ourselves as social, cultural and political human beings and artists. 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. 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. The address is danceyourquestions at somebodyelse.de
