Event Details

Somatic Contact Improvisation Workshop with Jörg Hassmann & Daniel Werner in Freiburg

24. – 28.7. 2024 in Studio ProArte

for experienced contact dancers

—

How far can we go when we allow ourselves to fully arrive? We’ll emerge into deep somatic work, metabolising stress, finding self- & nourishing co-regulation, connecting to what supports us for effortless and juicy dancing.

With a relaxed and grounded nervous system we want to approach also more challenging CI material like leaping, lofting, jumping ,falling and keeping the under dancing moving.
When is your moment to let go of hesitation, to maybe move quicker than usual, to get excited about new options and see what’s possible? … without falling into stress responses. No pressure, just permission.

For experienced contact dancers, meaning that you are familiar with navigating yourself through open dance frames, and to direct yourself towards challenges and back into easeful states of being.

01augallday04Workshop in Kassel 1.-4.8.2024THE TECHNICAL BASE OF CONTACT IMPROVISATION

Event Details

— english below —

Dieser Workshop ist Teil einer CI Fortbildung kann aber auch einzeln gebucht werden

THE TECHNICAL BASE OF CONTACT IMPROVISATION

Was ist die technische Basis für Contact Improvisation … für mich … jetzt, nach 30 Jahren Praxis?
Es ist eine ehrliche Frage, der ich in diesem Workshop nachgehen möchte. Wie meine ich die Prinzipien unterrichten zu können, die es dem Tanz erlauben mit geteiltem Gewicht geschmeidig durch die Ebenen und den Raum zu fliessen? … ohne zu sehr an erprobten Bewegungssequenzen hängenzubleiben, wo das Gefühl von lernen vielleicht erstmal am greifbarsten ist. Wie können Körper und Geist im Zustand des neugierigen Forschens und Improvisierens bleiben, wenn wir an spezifischen Prinzipien arbeiten?
Ich möchte, dass dieser Workshop gewinnbringend ist für alle, die die technische Seite der Contact Improvisation vertiefen wollen aber auch für Unterrichtende, die sich mit dem ‚Wie?‘ des Unterrichtens beschäftigen.
Wesentlich für meinen Ansatz sind die Wachheit für das, was uns als Gruppe selbst-und co-regulierend zusammenbringt, Wissen aus der frühkindlichen Bewegungsentwicklung und über die Elastizität des Fasziensystems.
Wir werden so viel wie möglich tanzen und die Kunst des Improvisierens von Contact Improvisation feiern.

Unterrichtssprache ist Deutsch und bei Bedarf auch English.

ZEITEN
Do 18:00-20:30

THE TECHNICAL BASE OF CONTACT IMPROVISATION

I want to use this Workshop to share what I currently feel is my technical base for CI. It is very much a research question, wondering how to teach the main principles around sharing weight in a dance that moves through all levels in the space without getting too attached to learning through ‚set pathways‘. How can body and mind stay open when working on specific principles and stay in a state of research and improvisation. I imagine this Workshop being valuable for CI practitioners to deepen their understanding of the technical side of the form but also for teachers who still wonder about how to teach (like me). How do clarity and inviting the unknown go together? Why am I a fan of awkwardness?
As and undercurrent we’ll bring awareness to ‚us‘ as a group for supporting self- and co-regulation of the nervous system, of course developmental movement patterns will be part of our journey and also the elasticity of the fascia.
We’ll dance as much as possible, celebrating the art of improvising CI.

Teaching language is German and if needed also English.

12augallday18CI Summer Intensive in Berlin // 12.-18.8.2024RESPONDING with DELAY vs RESPONDING with INTUITION

Event Details

CI Summer Intensive in Berlin // 12.-18.8.2024

RESPONDING with DELAY vs RESPONDING with INTUITION

—

I wonder how these two modes of depth and connection go together:
On the one hand it is a game changer if I allow myself to properly arrive, land and connect to what is there before I respond or act. Arriving in the space, the body, the touch. Tapping into the elasticity of body and time, where I can respond with a delay that is nourished by a deeper connection to myself and my surrounding.

Another mode to truthfully respond is instant. We might call it intuition. I respond almost before I know what the offer of the other will become. The magic match, almost reliable coincidences, the lack of any hesitation. It needs a huge permission to get it wrong when we work on it – ease and fun with failure, missing the bus, not meeting each other.

I envision more spaciousness and freedom in our dancing, forgetting what we know, trusting more when it is not obvious what’s going to happen … balanced by detailed explorations in the somatic wonderland, alone and with a supportive bodywork-ish curiosity. Responding with delay is easier to find through touch and shared weight. The intuition mode with instant responses I find easier to get when working without touch. We’ll see how the bodies bring these two different worlds of acting and responding together and live & witness it with delight.

Participants should be very familiar with Contact Improvisation technique, which will be our common language for this Intensive. In case of doubt, check in with us.

18sepallday22Residential Retreat Newcastle/ AustraliaEmbodied Nature Connection meets Contact Improvisation

Event Details

WOVEN: A Residential Dance Retreat where Embodied Nature Connection meets Contact Improvisation, 4.5 days (Wed Sept 18th – Sun Sept 22nd)

—

We are excited to return with our second and now longer Woven retreat, weaving together passions for a deep nature connection, somatic practice of Contact Improvisation, and community.

Our focus at Woven is awareness and connection. Through previous retreats we’ve found our being relates more deeply to nature when somatically informed. We also notice that through nature connection our awareness heightens and our dances deepen. Tuning in to the group, the land and our bodies we’ll connect and investigate these threads and crossovers.

At this retreat some sessions will be in a studio, with others by the sea and in the bush. Over the days there will be several jams. There will also be solo time, witnessing and other constellations and offers. There will be less time for CI dancing than “usual” CI retreats where CI is the only focus.

In small groups and the wider village we’ll find ways in which we are supported and nurtured. We also all have a role in caring for others and the collective.

We welcome people with at least some experience of the CI form, who are comfortable to navigate through open frames, and who are curious to explore beyond the walls of the studio.

06decallday08Workshop in Melbourne // December 6-8Save the date!!

Event Details

I love polarities that broaden the range of movement qualities, that give access to various somatic curiosities or open different ways to engage with others.

The precise topic is still in the making.
Titles like PRECISION & FREEDOM or SENSING THE DIFFERENCE are hovering round in my body and mind lately or TECHNIQUE & HEART. It feels too early to decide.

My general approach won’t change though. It has a strong somatic base including developmental movement patterns, work with the elasticity of the fascia and bringing awareness to the regulation of the nervous system. We’ll have moments to indulge into delicious details, befriending awkwardnesses, nibbling on the edges of our comfort zone, and again and again move into open spaces to journey through in unpredictable ways and celebrate the dance.

The Workshop will give inspiration for long term practitioners but is also welcoming for people who already have a sense of the basics of CI and want to go further and deeper.

TIMES
Fri 6-8pm,
Sat 11am-6pm (with a 1.5h break)
Sunday 10am-4:30pm (with a 1.5h break)

Contact Improvisation New Years Retreat

Save the Date! 2.-5.1.2025

What a special time of the year! This gap after the Christmas and New Year’s busyness, before normal life kicks in again. A good time to acknowledge how and where we are, getting more deeply in touch with ourselves through being in touch with others. What would I like to invite in, what can I let go off?

What emerges when we give our bodies, minds and hearts space to move, connect and play? More being than doing with a sense of timelessness.

Contact Improvisation will be our main language with a curiosity on how movements and connections begin. Basic techniques and priciples of the form around leading & following, sharing weight and probably some lifts will anchor our journey.

Beginners are welcome! You need to be comfortable to move between floor & standing and interested in acknowledging your limits.

Event Details

Residential CI Retreat on the Chiemsee near Munich

I am very happy to come back to the Frauenkloster Chiemsee after this wonderful Weekend Retreat we had in December 2023. I loved the spaciousness and also the depth of inquiries and connections that emerged. Next year, February 13-16th 2025, we want to expand the sense of journeying together for another day.

The theme is still forming and will be announced once it has matured.
My general approach won’t change though. It has a strong somatic base including developmental movement patterns, work with the elasticity of the fascia and bringing awareness to the regulation of the nervous system.

We’ll have moments to indulge into delicious details, befriend awkwardnesses, nibble at the edges of our comfort zone, and again and again move into open spaces to journey through in unpredictable ways. I am realising more and more strongly that the depth of our individual experiences is dependent on how we invest in the connections that make us feel part of group. My work will support that.
And a promise, as always: We will dance a lot!

Participants should be solidly familiar with Contact Improvisation principles and technique (intermediate- advanced level); and find their way in an open workshop structure. In case of doubt, check in with us.

Participants are responsible for their own insurance & liability.

Times: Thursday, 5 pm-7 pm, Friday & Saturday 10 am- 5.30 pm, Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm

Place: Monastery Frauenwörth, 83256 Fraueninsel, Chiemsee, Germany

Fee: €270-310 (depending on financial possibility) when applying until 13.12.24; thereafter €290-350
If you struggle to pay the fee, contact us, we will have a few spaces on a lower fee.

Accommodation in the monastery:

· Category A, room with shower/toilet, lake view, single room 65 € per night, double room 55 € per person and night.

· Category B, room with shower/toilet, courtyard view, single room 55 € per night, double room 45 € per person and night.

· Category C, room with shared shower/toilet, single room 40 € per night, double room 35 € per person and night.

We have booked a kitchen for self-catering. Please bring along, what you want to eat or share.
