Event Details
It has been a deep wish of mine to have longer CI Workshops happening in Australia. That’s what I did in Europe for many years and I miss it here … the depth, spaciousness, time to grow trust with each other and to meet through the dance again and again. Getting in touch with some more layers of the onion. So, it’s happening! On the Sunshine Coast! April 10-14 in our well loved town hall in Cooran with Camping and looong breaks at the very basic but incredibly beautiful Hillier Retreat.
Something magical happens, when we have time to connect beyond the dance in easeful and pragmatic ways. Living together with time to hang out, chat, swim, play, eat and retreat. The dance feeds our social time. And nature and living together feeds our dancing.
One warm meal per day is provided.
A basic understanding of Contact Improvisation is required to follow the Workshop. And you should be able to navigate through open, jam like frames.

Event Details
Welcome to our second Understory Retreat!
After our delightful and nourishing Understory in Feb 23 we’re back to offer another barefoot adventure in fusing our loves of embodied nature connection, somatic improvisation and community.
Again we will offer led practices in the bush, beach and inside the hall. We’ll focus on dropping into embodied presence and our innate affinity with the natural world, where we can develop trust in listening and responding. We notice what influences us, we follow our curiosity and courageously open to the unknown. We’ll explore how engaging in the very different worlds – nature and studio – may support, balance and inspire each other.
We look forward to journeying into the quiet Understory alongside the ever-present dialogue between our somatic beings, the natural world and each other. And hope you will join us there too.
All bodies, backgrounds and levels of experience and interest in movement and nature connection are welcome. And to be clear, this is NOT a Contact Improvisation event.

Event Details
With Steve Paxton’s death I looked more into the beginnings of this dance form and was fascinated about the interest in disorientation, tumbling and falling. Playing to somatically understand what’s possible. It feels almost like discovering gravity.
How do we sense gravity? How can gravity be our guide and inspiration when we are dancing?
I have quite a few answers to all this, but I am much more intrigued by a sense of wonder that is swinging in me when I hear Steve Paxton’s words „swimming in gravity“. Falling weight creates momentum that we can ride and direct. I worked a lot with this 20 years ago and feel the impulse to revisit it from a place of calmness and a desire for trust building that embraces fear responses and awkwardnesses. We’ll practice to shift from the subtle & grounding to the wild …and back again, from delicious details into open spaces to journey through in unpredictable ways.
Technical essentials will be revisited so we find common ground, deepen our practice … and to have it challenged by the fresh breeze of the early days of CI.
And a promise, that as always: We will dance a lot!

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