We are super sorry that our festival won’t be happening this year!
We were looking for alternative ways and locations to make it happen. But dealing with the amount of unclarity around what will be legally possible concerning covid-19 and the extra logistics, especially concerning food and socializing, was beyond our capacities.
Thank you all for the patience and support we received from many sides. It was wonderful to feels people’s engangement and generosity in this waiting period. Super sad, that we can’t harvest the energy of that by comming physically all together as usual.
After a little pause we’ll slowly start preparing cmc 2021, which should be able to happen end of July beginning of August next year.
Enjoy the little niches that are opening up more and more for embodied being, dancing and connecting.
All the best from your cmc Team
Joerg, Nadja, Gabi and Daniel

Dear dancing ones,
2-weeks Summer Intensive in Contact Improvisation
with Joerg Hassmann, 17-28 August 2020, Berlin
We will dive into detailed sensing and researching connections within our bodies. We will wonder what it is that makes us feel in touch with ourselves, with a dance partner, and as an independent, yet connected part of the whole group.
CI technique will offer scenarios to research these questions and specific themes will naturally emerge in the meeting of our curiosities. I imagine time & timing as one red thread of these two weeks. How long can I stay interested in a certain topic? When do new topics pop up? When am I ready to let go of ‘going step by step’ and instead leap into the world of open possibilities? We will practice allowing slowness and surprisingly quick changes.
The Summer Intensive is a journey of two weeks that we undertake individually and also together as a group. This makes different kinds of learning and growing possible than in shorter formats. I am grateful to still be able to share this format here in Europe while living on the other side of the planet.
Participants should feel very familiar with CI. We will ask about your dance and movement background upon registration.

Frühkindliche Bewegungsmuster haben sich für uns zu einem systematisch-hilfreichen roten Faden entwickelt, da sie mühelose und kraftvolle Wege eröffnen für den eigenen Tanz und auch für all die gewichts-intensiven Situationen in der CI. Über die Jahre hat uns weiteres Wissen aus somatischen Praktiken inspiriert. Insbesondere die dreidimensionale, stützende Eleastizität des Fasziennetzwerks und verschiedene Teile des Nervensystems, das unsere Präsenz und Verfügbarkeit reguliert.
Wir haben viel detailliertes Material entwickelt zum Erforschen der wesentlichen Prinzipien, die ein Contact Duet leicht und geschmeidig durch alle Ebenen fliessen lässt – vom Boden zu Hebungen und Sprüngen. Wir untersuchen die üblichsten CI spezifischen Situationen, suchen nach mehr Klarheit, nach Herausforderungen und überraschenden neuen Möglichkeiten im vermeintlich Vertrauten.
Fokussierte, offenere Formate zum Tanzen erlauben die Integration der technischen Informationen ins eigene Bewegungsrepertoire. In diesen Räumen lebt zugleich die Frage, was eine Jam braucht um zu mehr als einer Ansammlung von Duets zu werden, ein Ort, wo wir als Gruppe die Verbundenheit des Ganzen erleben und dabei angebunden bleiben an unsere individuellen Berdürfnisse und Neugierden.
Uns interessiert zunehmend, welchen Beitrag unsere gemeinsame somatische Praxis leisten kann, sowohl für unsere individuellen Leben als auch für unsere Gesellschaft, in einer Welt, die im extremen Wandel begriffen ist.
Ein Jahr regelmässige CI Praxis hat sich als gutes Minimum zur Teilnahme an der Fortbildung erwiesen.
Haupt-Unterrichtssprache ist englisch, deutsch je nach Bedarf.

**************************************************************************************************
12th Half-Year Programme in Contact Improvisation (Sep 2020 – Jan 2021)
with Daniel Werner & Joerg Hassmann
in Cooperation with Tanzfabrik Berlin
In the last eleven years this Programme became the setting, where we continuously evaluate the technical foundation of contact Improvisation as we understand and experience it. What is it that makes us feel connected – wihin ourselves and with the people we dance with? We see this as a core question for any dance technique, first of all on the physical but also on an energetic level.
Developmental movement patterns have become our experiental narrative for this, including the research of anatomical core structures like bones, joints and muscles. They offer effortless and powerful ways to move alone and together within all the weight baring situations of a CI duet.
Over the years more knowledge of somatic practices have inspired us -especially the connectivity and elasticity of fascia system – and different parts of the nervous system, that influence our state of readiness and availability.
We developed a lot of partner material to explore the main priciples, which enable a CI duet to move smoothly and easefully through all spacial levels, from the floor to lifts and jumps. We’ll research the most common CI specific situations, finding precision, new details & clarity, challenges and surprisingly new options in the supposedly known.
Focussed, open frames for dancing will give space to allow the technical information to become more integrated. In these spaces we can explore, what Jams need so that they can grow beyond a collection of CI duets. A Jam’s potential is to become a space, where we connect together as a whole while being deeply in touch with our individual needs and curiosities.
We are wondering more and more, which offer our common somatic practice can provide for our individual lives but also for our society, in a world that is facing dramatic changes.
One year of regular CI practice is a good minimum to participate in this programme.
The teaching language is mainly english, plus german as needed.

Event Details
Due to the current Covid 19 situation my planed Workshops in Australia had to be cancelled. I am super sorry about that.
But I am grateful that I was able to teach at the Bare Bones Festival on the Gold Coast (Feb 21-23) and also a Workshop in Perth (March 7-8). But the Workshops in Mullumbimbi (April 3-5) and Sydney (May 2-3) and my teachings at the Australian Contact Improvisation Convergence – ACIC (June 5-9) unfortunately couldn’t take place.
Whenever the situation changes, so that it is safe enough to teach dance workshops again, you’ll find it her on my calendar. I am in touch with organisers in Sydney, Melbourne, Mullumbimbi to set something up rather short term.
I might start some online teaching as well, once I created a dance space in my new home …
Stay health and moving!
