20marallday22CI Workshop in Castlemaine/ VictoriaDEEP LISTENING - EMERGING POSSIBILITIES

Event Details

I am happily excited to come for the first time to Castlemaine. Thank you Marie (Mirbach) for inviting me!

We hope to see many local dancers at the workshop as well as plenty of participants from other places for an enriching dance culture. The Guildford Hall is spacious with beautiful wooden floors and Guildford itself offers a lovely cafe, pub and nature walking opportunities for us to enjoy during the breaks and in the evenings.

DEEP LISTENING – EMERGING POSSIBILITIES

I wish us to feel a deeper sense of connection when we share a dance.
Getting in touch with what is … with what is actually there instead of planing ahead. Listening … Which direction? How quick or slow? More weight or less? Is my response meeting the offer? Can I hear the response to my input?
I will share principles and strategies that I find useful to hear each other more deeply and precisely. We might use some given pathways in order to practice our listening skills. New pathways will emerge when we listen more deeply – and will connect us beyond the physical. I also want to make sure that we don’t get lost in listening and forget to trust our own impulses that feed the aliveness of the dance.

Explorative solo work and a focus on the group will help us expand beyond the duet bubble and give tools for richer and more satisfying Jams.

The topic of the workshop is still in the making.
Joerg’s approach is generally gentle and playful with long slow phases to tune into self and the group. He includes somatic work based on developmental movement patterns which prepares body and mind for the sensing and weight sharing which happens in CI. He loves offering deep and focussed explorations as well as practical exercises which serve as beautiful starting points for a heartfelt and connected jam space.

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
