14aprallday196-day CI Retreat Sunshine CoastDEEPENING CONNECTION

Event Details

DEEPENING CONNECTION
For one week we’ll journey together, dancing on the smooth floor of the Cooran Town Hall and sharing time in nature.

Various moments of our days will be in silence, like some meals, dance sessions or outdoor activities. Senses open differently, our inner voices are heard more easily, we feel other nuances when meeting each other.
Compared to other Retreats we had in Cooran, we want to connect more to the stunning land we’ll be living on with the wish to deepen a sense of being grounded and part of the more-than-human world. Our main practice to integrate everything is the universe of Contact Improvisation. Joerg will facilitate these spaces feeding in essentials around organising the moving body, communication through touch and weight-sharing situations, adding whatever is needed to deepen connections to self, others and the group.

We’ll celebrate life and community when swimming in the big dam, hanging out together in our sheltered living area, sharing body work, singing, seeing the stars and feeling the warmth of the fire.

Ohn Pi will pour his love into our warm lunches and support the co-creation of our dinners. For that we encourage everyone to contribute to the community pantry. You need to cater for your own breakfast while basics like cereal and muesli are provided.

Participants should feel comfortable enough to navigate through open dance frames like Jams.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Your team Joerg, Jonathan, Alec, Taheli, Miho, Laeti and Ohn

09may(may 9)10:0010(may 10)16:30CI Workshop in SydneyCommitment 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.

TIMES
Saturday 10am to 6pm (with a 2h break)

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
