Pre Workshop 5 - 6 March 2020 [http://xwutg.mjt.lu/tplimg/xwutg/b/j6t5/xvuj.jpeg] [http://xwutg.mjt.lu/tplimg/xwutg/b/j6t5/xvu8.jpeg] [http://xwutg.mjt.lu/tplimg/xwutg/b/j6t5/xvzh.jpeg] In this festival we will go on a journey together. We want to connect inside and outside, both as places and as parts of ourselves. We will have our focus on workshops outdoors in magical places taking time in nature to unwind and breath. Allowing every environment to reveal itself upon us ? change us, move us. Every place offers unique gifts to learn from as we move through them and they move through us. The indoor workshops become another setting from which to perceive and learn. The studio gives a focus and clarity, a lack of external stimulus, which in contrast, will offer a fresh simplicity to investigate and understand our dance more deeply. Every session will be on a specific topic of Contact Improvisation, essential themes taking us deep into the ideas and the flavor of each experience. We will go together from one experience to the next, expanding awareness, sharing inspiration and discovery. We will learn by meeting, dancing, and enjoying! Each of our outstanding international teachers has a special interest in Contact Improvisation, the outdoors and how both fit into a deep awareness of experience itself.

CI BASIC Training Program Hamburg with Elske Seidel - April I May I June 2020 - Germany In-Reply-To: References: , , Message-ID: [cid:a3a8f073-297c-46b2-b56f-49c978b9ccd1] CI BASIC Training Program Hamburg with Elske Seidel April I May I June 2020 Germany > deutsche Version siehe unten The CI Basic Training Program offers a clear supported space to focus on the fundamentals of Contact Improvisation, laying the ground for our practice. As we enter into the experience of essential states and qualities of Contact Improvisation, core movement principles and specific techniques will emerge that support us in finding ease and flow in our movement both solo and with a partner. Looking at precise technique as well as working somatically, discovering and learning from our bodies, we can widen our experience and the joy of dancing Contact Improvisation. The progression of the three weekend-modules allows for material to build and community to grow. Together, in the ease of continuity and connection, we will create a space to discover, explore, question, research, and enjoy. The training program opens our sense of possibility, connecting to different layers and aspects of Contact Improvisation. The stream of choice becomes three-dimensional and we can move in any direction both metaphorically and physically. Embodying a deeper joined physical and intellectual knowing, we will move, practice and dance, as well as read, write, talk and listen. There will be time to look at the history of CI. Understanding where CI comes from, out of what context it emerged, and how it developed over the years supports us in finding our own freedom, meaning, and place in it today. One essential element of Contact Improvisation is jamming. The Basic Training Program would like to offer the space and time to feel comfortable in a Contact Jam. As we enter a field of improvisation and play, we discover what thrills and supports us, and what we need to feel safe in our practice of CI. Understanding its language more intuitively and clearly empowers us to follow our own curiosities and ease as we dance and play together. Each time finding again and again our own way 'in' to enjoy and participate in the dance, in the practice, in a contact jam, and in movement itself. 3 Modules: 17-19 April / 8-10 May / 12-14 June 2020 Times: Fri 7 am-9:30 pm, Sat 11 am-6 pm, Sun 10:30 am-4:30 pm (Sat+Sun including 1.5h lunch break) Price: 380 ?

Die Basis Ausbildung l?dt ein, intensiv und systematisch ?ber einen l?ngeren Zeitraum in einer Gruppe Contact Improvisation zu lernen und durch das gewachsene Vertrauen Qualit?t und Tiefe in der t?nzerischen Entwicklung sowie in der Begegnung im Tanz zu erfahren. Es wird Raum f?r auftauchende Fragen und Themen geben und ein gesunder Austausch ?ber das eigene Erleben kultiviert. Wir werden technisch-pr?zise und somatisch-sp?rend Bewegungsprinzipien erforschen, die wesentlich f?r eine m?helose, genussvolle und nachhaltige K?rperorganisation sind. Dabei arbeiten wir alleine und im Kontakt. Neben dem ?berwiegend praktischen Anteil der Ausbildung werden wir anhand von Texten und Originalvideos aus der Entstehungszeit einen Einblick in die Theorie und Geschichte der Contact Improvisation erhalten. Wir werden erfahren, wo CI herkommt, wie und in welchem zeitlichen Kontext es entstanden ist und wie es heute praktiziert wird. Ziel der Ausbildung ist es Jam-f?hig zu sein, sich sicher zu f?hlen im eigenen K?rper, im Tanz und im Kontakt mit anderen. 3 Module: 17.-19. April / 8.-10. Mai / 12.-14.

Invite your Facebook friends or forward this email. Making space for everyone We have many people coming from out of town, and we hope to offer housing to as many as we can. You don?t have to attend the jam to provide housing for a dancer, and you don?t need to provide any food. All you need to offer is some spare floor space. If you or someone you know can help, please tell Dmitri at orcjhousing at contactimprov.ca. We encourage complete beginners to dance with us. If you or your friends are new to contact improvisation, consider attending our Saturday morning class (details below). There are beginner-friendly dancing options at all times. The venue is wheelchair accessible. (Internal doors are mostly manual.) For those who request ASL interpretation, attendant care, or have other accessibility requests, please contact ontjam at contactimprov.ca immediately to increase the likelihood that we can make arrangements. Tentative schedule This year?s programmers, Celia McBride and Laurie Davis, have made this year?s jam more spacious, with fewer workshops and more time for actual jamming. You can view a preview schedule here . Vegan lunches and snacks are included for dancers who register by March 25; many restaurant options are available nearby for those who register after. Please bring your own dishes and utensils if you can! FUNdamentals for Complete Beginners You can start with a FUNdamentals two-hour introductory dance class for people new to contact improvisation at 10 am on Saturday, April 4. - To dance contact improv, we need to be fully present. To be fully present, we must feel seen and safe. - Starting with self-awareness, we will move into awareness of the floors and walls, and then to moving in and out of other people?s physical space. - This workshop will focus on communication, attunement, awareness, calibration, and fun/play. The beginner class is included with full-weekend registration ? or the cost is $30 to attend just Saturday morning from 9 am to 2 pm, including the class and dancing time. Following the class, participants can choose to extend their stay and continue with more of the jam. We welcome you ? all of you We want everyone to feel welcome -- including people who are new to dance, people with disabilities, diverse bodies, minds, genders, ages, skin colours, cultures, sexual orientations, languages and more. The fullness of you is welcome, no parts left out. Whatever your mind state and whether your heart is heavy or light. When there?s a way we can be more inclusive and equitable, please let us know. We acknowledge we have room to improve around these issues and we want to continue to learn and develop a jam that is welcoming. Nous trouvons important que chacun se sente bienvenu: les nouveaux, ceux avec des limitations physiques ou autres, tous genres de corps, coeurs et esprits. Toutes les expressions de genre sont bienvenues (femmes et hommes, cis et trans), ainsi que les gens de tous ?ges, grandeurs, formes, couleurs, cultures, sous-cultures et contre-cultures, gais, lesbiennes, bis.
