CI
Training
Program
2016/17
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

wish to

creative
energy and
interests,
support and
inspire each
other and
