ALIVE STILLNESS & TIPPING POINTS

Alive stillness as an anchor, a place that invites multiple layers of not knowing, nourishing connection to self, awareness of others and sensitivity to the space around us. It gives life to the dance through its contrast with flow, habit, momentum and wildness.

Within stillness there is already movement waiting: the subtle sway of balance, the breath before a shift, the almost-imperceptible moment where weight gathers and begins to tip. We will listen for that threshold – the delicate point where balance leans into lightness, where grounding becomes lift, where the body discovers the possibility of taking off.

How can stillness be physically alive? How can we land in it, find home in the not-moving so that it feels natural, spacious and full of potential? And how can compositional beauty emerge, almost magically from that moment of poised suspension?

We’ll share our findings from the last decades, freshly discovered strategies, and heartfelt questions.

29may(may 29)10:0031(may 31)16:30CI Workshop in Sydney - new Date!!Commitment and freedom

Event Details

In my experience Co-dependency is at the core of CI technique. We learn the ability to stay with the other: when it is getting tricky we move towards, into the support, into the connection, become the support. We learn where the other one is, at any moment, reading their structure, matching their weight through touch, meeting them. Technical questions are „When do I cling on – instead of meeting the other?“, „When do I run away – unconsciously?“, and „How can I be light and available in this committed connection?“
I’ll share some CI situations to observe our patterns of moving away and practice how to stay with the other.

This is the technique, not the dance. Satisfying Jams need the solo and trio, the in & out of touch, independent spirits. When we know how to stay, moving away becomes a choice that carries the flavour of freedom that allows us to keep the independence in the committed touch as well.
I am happy to explore how true that is.

Participants need two have a basic understanding of CI.

10julallday12CI Workshop in Hamburggrounding & lightness

Event Details

grounding & lightness

Name: CI Workshop in Sydney - new Date!!
Start: 2026-5-29T10-10-00-00
End: 2026-5-31T16-16-30-00
Location: Glebe Townhall

It is still a mystery to me: What makes me or my partner feel light in the dance? Light but clear and fully present in the touch – when rolling on the floor, flying up high or while changing levels?
It needs grounding of body and heart to find depth and connection that is resourcing the lightness. Otherwise the dance will become unsettling.
What else? Keeping the pelvis light when we leave the floor is definitely part of it, easeful momentum and reach of the spine and arms in another ingredient.
It is complex and can feel super simple. And as so often – many layers of this work is relating beautifully to other aspects of being human and with others.

und auf Deutsch …

Es bleibt mir ein Geheimnis: Was macht es möglich, dass ich mich oder meine Mittanzenden als leicht erlebe. Wie kommt es zu einer Leichtigkeit die sich paart mit voller Präsenz in der Berührung – beim Rollen am Boden, im Fliegen oder wenn wir die Ebenen wechseln?
Es braucht Erdung im Körper & Sein um die Tiefe und Verbundenheit zu finden, die die Leichtigkeit nährt. Sonst wird es flirrig (nervös).
Was noch? Eine luftige Qualität im Becken, wenn wir den Boden verlassen, gehört dazu, Wachheit für Schwung und Weite in Armen und Wirbelsäule sind weitere Zutaten.

Es ist komplex und kann sich doch so einfach anfühlen. Und wie so oft beziehen sich viele Schichten dieser Arbeit auf wunderbare Weise auf’s Mensch und miteinander sein.

18julallday24Summerintensive 2026 in BerlinConstellations - Beyond Duets

Event Details

Constellations – Beyond Duets

* For experienced contacters
* Max 35 participants

The duet is the core constellation of Contact Improvisation and will be a central base in this workshop. We love the clarity of relating to one person – being in dialogue, negotiating weight, direction and dynamics while hearts attune. It holds both simplicity and complexity, and we will dive deeply into the technical aspects of this form.

The mysterious web of satisfying jamming though needs more than that. Soloing and trios are the base for expanding beyond the common duet bubbles. Trios bring unpredictability, surprise and compositional challenges – the beauty of problem-solving in motion. There is a dynamic to trios that asks for calmness, ease and simplicity in order to let go into the openness. For decades I shied away from trios in my teaching. Now the desire for it is surfacing.

We’ll focus on the solo, duets and trios topic in the first half of the workshop and we want to see what’s emerging from what happened – or didn’t happen – in the first three days, during the second half of the workshop.

Each day will include a lab during which we can draw from the vast knowledge that many of the teachers and long term contacters bring to the space. How can we give feedback to support each other on our growing edges? While technical labs are always a great option, we’d like to also encourage more curiosity in how the solo body organises and establish soft skill labs that focus more on listening, emotional availability or courageous choice-making.

We, Joerg & Dino, are excited to invite you to another CI Summer Intensive in Berlin. More than in previous years, we want to tap into the collective knowledge and experience within the group, as many participants are teachers and long-term practitioners. We aim to shape this workshop in a more collaborative way, fostering a stronger sense of shared responsibility and self-efficacy.

We are interested in exploring formats that allow everyone to engage more actively beyond fixed roles, e.g. by contributing to daily CI labs, collaborating in the preparation and demonstration of material together with Joerg, or supporting one another through emotionally challenging moments. Our intention is to create a space where learning, teaching, and holding the process can be shared more fluidly.

Dino & Joerg
We have been on a shared journey with CI for over 20 years, during which a deep friendship has grown. In recent years, our focus has developed towards creating frameworks that support group cohesion, vulnerability, and personal growth within the practice of CI and we are interested in balancing detailed work with open structures that allow for rich and unpredictable dancing.

This year, we are curious about how to further soften hierarchies and open the space for more collective ownership – while still maintaining clarity, safety, and depth in the work.

29julallday02augCI Retreat in PolandSAVE THE DATE!

Event Details

We, Joerg & Paweł, are excited co-create this CI Retreat in the calm countryside in the East of Poland. We are sharing a deep dance relationship – technically very satisfying and fun, a lot of emphasis on being instead of doing with wonderful experiences of trust, patience, not knowing and freedom.

In this Retreat we want to explore and share the core ingredients of our dances. The material, formats and the general tone for this retreat we’ll create together, with Joerg in the main lead in the teaching. Access to nature supports both of our work and we are grateful that Pawel found this beautiful place near Lublin with meadows, forest and a lake nearby

A specific topic might emerge shorter to the workshop or will reveal itself in our time with you together.

Shared bedrooms, dorms or camping options are available.
A warm lunch is provided every day. Breakfast & dinner can be booked as well, or you cater yourself for these meals in a shared camping-style kitchen.

Campfire, Sauna and Jacuzzi will enrich our journey together.

After the Retreat there will be a long jam – a space for dissolving structure and meeting each other. During this time we will co-create the space together, sharing dance on the floor as well as cooking meals.
The essence of this time will be the possibility to continue being together with whatever is present for us and what we feel curious about. It is an invitation for integration, digestion of the material, and for further dance and research.
There will be an option to join only the Retreat or the Retreat together with the long jam.

Fees and Registration are still in the making. Soon more
