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.

grounding & lightness

Name: CI Workshop in Sydney - new Date!!
Start: 2026-5-29T10-10-00-00
End: 2026-5-31T16-16-30-00
Location: Glebe Townhall

It is still a mystery to me: What makes me or my partner feel light in the dance? Light but clear and fully present in the touch – when rolling on the floor, flying up high or while changing levels?
It needs grounding of body and heart to find depth and connection that is resourcing the lightness. Otherwise the dance will become unsettling.
What else? Keeping the pelvis light when we leave the floor is definitely part of it, easeful momentum and reach of the spine and arms in another ingredient.
It is complex and can feel super simple. And as so often – many layers of this work is relating beautifully to other aspects of being human and with others.

und auf Deutsch …

Es bleibt mir ein Geheimnis: Was macht es möglich, dass ich mich oder meine Mittanzenden als leicht erlebe. Wie kommt es zu einer Leichtigkeit die sich paart mit voller Präsenz in der Berührung – beim Rollen am Boden, im Fliegen oder wenn wir die Ebenen wechseln?
Es braucht Erdung im Körper & Sein um die Tiefe und Verbundenheit zu finden, die die Leichtigkeit nährt. Sonst wird es flirrig (nervös).
Was noch? Eine luftige Qualität im Becken, wenn wir den Boden verlassen, gehört dazu, Wachheit für Schwung und Weite in Armen und Wirbelsäule sind weitere Zutaten.

Es ist komplex und kann sich doch so einfach anfühlen. Und wie so oft beziehen sich viele Schichten dieser Arbeit auf wunderbare Weise auf’s Mensch und miteinander sein.

18julallday24Summerintensive 2026 in BerlinConstellations - Beyond Duets

Event Details

Constellations – Beyond Duets

* For experienced contacters
* Max 35 participants

The duet is the core constellation of Contact Improvisation and will be a central base in this workshop. We love the clarity of relating to one person – being in dialogue, negotiating weight, direction and dynamics while hearts attune. It holds both simplicity and complexity, and we will dive deeply into the technical aspects of this form.

The mysterious web of satisfying jamming though needs more than that. Soloing and trios are the base for expanding beyond the common duet bubbles. Trios bring unpredictability, surprise and compositional challenges – the beauty of problem-solving in motion. There is a dynamic to trios that asks for calmness, ease and simplicity in order to let go into the openness. For decades I shied away from trios in my teaching. Now the desire for it is surfacing.

We’ll focus on the solo, duets and trios topic in the first half of the workshop and we want to see what’s emerging from what happened – or didn’t happen – in the first three days, during the second half of the workshop.

Each day will include a lab during which we can draw from the vast knowledge that many of the teachers and long term contacters bring to the space. How can we give feedback to support each other on our growing edges? While technical labs are always a great option, we’d like to also encourage more curiosity in how the solo body organises and establish soft skill labs that focus more on listening, emotional availability or courageous choice-making.

We, Joerg & Dino, are excited to invite you to another CI Summer Intensive in Berlin. More than in previous years, we want to tap into the collective knowledge and experience within the group, as many participants are teachers and long-term practitioners. We aim to shape this workshop in a more collaborative way, fostering a stronger sense of shared responsibility and self-efficacy.

We are interested in exploring formats that allow everyone to engage more actively beyond fixed roles, e.g. by contributing to daily CI labs, collaborating in the preparation and demonstration of material together with Joerg, or supporting one another through emotionally challenging moments. Our intention is to create a space where learning, teaching, and holding the process can be shared more fluidly.

Dino & Joerg
We have been on a shared journey with CI for over 20 years, during which a deep friendship has grown. In recent years, our focus has developed towards creating frameworks that support group cohesion, vulnerability, and personal growth within the practice of CI and we are interested in balancing detailed work with open structures that allow for rich and unpredictable dancing.

This year, we are curious about how to further soften hierarchies and open the space for more collective ownership – while still maintaining clarity, safety, and depth in the work.
