Intuitive Systems
for Contact Improvisation
(This workshop is open for everybody. The material will be prepared in a
way that as well beginners as experienced dancers can profit fully.)
In the five years of their
collaboration, co-teaching CI to beginners as well as to professional
dancers all over Europe and America, Daniela and Eckhard have been
developing a system of basic tools to access and deepen into Contact
Improvisation.
In this workshop we will explore the center-periphery connection as a
key principle to separate and reconnect the limbs to the center in
different ways. Through the action of releasing and activating, reaching
and folding, spiraling, etc, we will develop different movement
patterns, that will help us to let go from old and inefficient ones to
find ease and flow in our own pathways along the floor and through the
different levels listening to gravity and momentum.
With more awareness for our own body in motion, we will be ready to
connect to our partner’s body and fully commit to the dance, while we
stay centered and grounded, as we enter our spherical space.
We will explore the full range of giving and receiving, from light touch
(you are responsible for your own weight) to full weight sharing.
Through respectful listening and body actions like scanning, sensing,
reading, leaning, proposing, following, accepting, resisting, balancing,
counter-balancing, etc, we will engage ourselves in an open physical
dialog.
Understanding and integrating some of the principles, we will find more
trust and freedom in our own body, own movements and in the
communication with our partner.
Eckhard Mueller (Germany/France)
co-founder of the Contact Festival Freiburg, is enthusiastically dancing
and performing CI since 1988. In his teaching he is playfully searching
for depth in the understanding of the form. As a member of Cie dégadezo,
he has participated in diverse choreographique dance-theater pieces
since 2002.
Daniela Schwartz (Argentina/France)
is involved in the practice, preformance and teaching of CI since 1998.
Memeber of Cie dégadezo. As a visual artist, she is interested in the
body, space and movement in the present moment as Materia for research,
expression and création. Her multiple medias : video, objects,
installation are present in her practices.

JULY
26. - AUGUST 01.2010 -
GOTTINGEN, GERMANY
CONTACT meets
CONTEMPORARY
2nd International
Festival for Contact Improvisation inviting
Contemporary Dance
Contact meets Contemporary is a Contact
Festival that invites and includes the
knowledge from other contemporary dance
forms. It will give tools to open the
contact duet for solo, trio or group
improvisations and performances. And it will
provide space for contemporary movement
technique to be purely danced with others.
The common ground where we meet is
improvisation.
Intensives 2010:
Rick Nodine (GB), Spherical Orientation
Mirva Mäkinen (Fin), Contact & Contemporary
- moving and communicating
Victoria Hauke (D), Directing the movement
energy (and being surprised)
Performance-Laboratory:
Sebastian Garcia Ferro (ES) and Ulla Mäkinen
(FIN), in cooperation with the Barcelona
International Dance Exchange, www.bide.be)
Classes 2010:
Iiris Raipala (Finnland) - Fall in Trust
Jennifer-Lynn Crawford (GB)- favourite
essentials of Contemporary Technique
Markus Hoft (D)- From Contact Improvisation
to Partnering
Iwona Olszowska (Pol) - favourite essentials
of CI, Nina Wehnert (D) - share the dance -
share the space / from contact into
improvisation
Jeff Wallace (USA) - Dancing into Contact
Trinidad Martinez - Contemporary Technique -
articulating the spine and leaping
Heilke Bruns (D) - Body-Mind Centering into
Contact Improvisation
Kathryn Crick (GB) - favourite essentials of
Contemporary Technique
Maria Elste (D) - Improvisation - radiating
out from the skin
Heike Pourian (D) - Bewegungslabor "Lebendige
Physik"
Katri Lukkonen (Fin) - Falling into spirals
Simonetta Alessandri (IT) and Asaf Bachrach
(ISR)
Classes
will focus on CI, Contemporary technique and
Improvisation. Around half the classes will
focus on fundamental principles to lay the
common ground and give access also for
people with less experience. The
morning-intensives will be followed by 30
min open labbing time to integrate the
material in a self directed way.
Jam session:
We imagine a space, where CI can be
practiced and contemporary dance can be
actually danced (instead of being only a
preparation for the dance on the stage). We
are curios how the classes. labs
performative frames and interludes will
inform the jams sessions.
Performances:
We want to create smaller and more relaxed
frames to explore „performing improvised
dance“ using feedback structures, scores for
watchers, settings for „rehearsed“ impros as
well as scores for random combinations of
performers.
One2ones:
Each participant will get a 20 minutes
private lesson with a teacher. One afternoon
will be dedicated to this wonderful and
efficent way of individual learning in a big
group.
One hour interludes
will create focussed space for dance
structures, lecture-demonstrations, dance
dates, bodywork and whatever we feel is
needed …
Do what you need:
The schedule has several open slots to
encourage a sense of doing less and
sometimes nothing – a reminder to follow
your own needs in an easily overstimulating
athmosphere of a festival. Evening Sauna and
swim, a little pool outside and open studios
may help this purpose, too.

Dance
Ranch Marfa in BERLIN
Performance Practice
Ensemble Thinking
Solo and Contact Improvisation
Taught by Nina Martin, Kelly Dalrymple-Wass, Andrew Wass, and Rebecca
Bryant Using Nina Martin's Ensemble Thinking, we will examine group
improvisation. Ensemble Thinking, a toolbox for performance, consists of
scores/concepts that allow the performer(s) and the audience to clearly
observe and participate in the improvisation as it unfolds. As a group
consists of individuals we will also explore the improvisation of the
individual body and the improvisation of contact between bodies. We will
also explore choreography as a means to discover new pathways in the
body and mind and challenge the personal critic. The goal of this
workshop is to give the performer clarity of options in improvisation.

GYROKINESIS® (saturday 9.30-11.00; sunday
9.30-11.00)
http://gyrotonic.com/Gyrokinesis.aspx
A system developed to alleviate pain and
heal injuries. It works the entire
body through seven natural elements of
spinal movement.
It incorporates many key
principles of dance, yoga, tai-chi and
gymnastics. This method systematically works
the joints, bones and muscles in order to
increase the range and speed of movement,
coordination and strength, and remove body
limitations. Gyrokinesis focuses on
breathing patterns, rhythm and repetition of
exercises in a harmonious flow of spinal
movements. As a novatory reeducation form,
works perfectly as support training for
dancers as well as non-professionals.
Partnering (saturday 11.15-12.45; sunday
11.15-12.45)
The partnering class focuses on how 2 bodies
can move in space as one. It is very
important in class that we firs work on the
movement material, created beforehand,
learning it, on creating it in the moment.
Partnering is very sensitive as far as
energy, timing, focus, and being in contact
all the time with your partner, either with
touch or awareness of the other person. It
is not a question of size, gender or
technique, the workshop focuses on the
importance of concentration, precision in
movement, security that has to be there for
hight and low lifts. The class can be taught
for professionals as well as intermediate
level discovering dance with a partner,
overcoming limitations and giving more
freedom in movement.
Contemporary DANCE (saturday 14.30-16.00;
16.15-17.45)
The training material incorporates
experience and research in fields of body
work, BMC®, Gyrotonic®, LMA®, manual
therapies, Applied Anatomy, various dance
styles, from ballet, underground modern jazz
to capoeira and tai chi meditations.
Alongside the main contemporary forms of
body practice, dance and improvisation come
together to explore the ranges of body
motion and possibilities.
▪ Sybrig Dokter and Benno Voorham
will be teaching a workshop at Arlequi from 24 july- 31 july.This course

When dancing and
interacting with other dancers and an audience, there is a constant
demand to be wide-awake and have your senses sharpened. Our memory of
what just happened can guide us as to what direction to take in what is
coming. We will be working at that intersection of conscious choice and
the in the moment following of our instinct. In this workshop we will
explore and examine our habits in perceiving and responding to acts of
other people as well as having a look at the way we go from thinking to
doing.
The workshop will be based on physical practice and skills in moving
with ease and clarity. Getting to know the body’s possibilities through
moving, and to navigate it through space and time. Four days of working
in different constellations and moving in scores that sharpen our
compositional wit and challenge our ability to act and (not)react.
Benno Voorham is a dancer, choreographer and teacher from Holland,
living in Stockholm since 1995, using improvisation in all aspects of
his work. Several of his pieces have toured through Eastern Europe,
England, Germany, Ireland and Scandinavia in the last few years. He is
teaching workshops in dance improvisation throughout Europe and has won
a distinctive reputation for his original brand of teaching. He is
dancing Contact Improvisation for more than 20 years and is teaching
this form since 1986.
Sybrig Dokter is a dancer, dance maker and teacher from the Netherlands
living in Sweden from 1995. She received her dance education during the
late seventies in Rotterdam (Netherlands), London and New York. She
worked as a dancer in New York and Canada before moving back to Europe.
Sybrig has performed work by other choreographers as well as created her
own work. Her teaching and performing has taken her amongst others to
the Baltic countries, Russia, Moldova, Scandinavia and Great Britain.

AWARENESS PERCEPTION PRESENCE:
Moving from the Fish
Body
February 5-7 2010, Vilnius, Lithuania
Physical dialogue with ourselves – a
movement workshop for different level, style
and experience movers (dance, theatre,
martial arts, etc. practitioners), as well
as people with great interest in efficient
movement and own body perception.
Basic English knowledge is required, no
translation will be available.
No previous physical experience is needed.
Malcolm has spent the last five-years
developing a body of work called Awareness
Perception Presence in which he combines the
Feldenkrais Method, Experiential Anatomy and
other specially-devised material to enter
into a physical dialogue with ourselves and
our environment. In this particular series,
we'll explore the Fish Body (axial skeleton)
taking some of Steve Paxton's Material for
the Spine as our reference.
Each class begins with a guided exploration/
lecture/dialogue in which the specific theme
of the class is introduced through movement
and associated anatomical details. Then
follows a Feldenkrais (ATM) class which aims
to clarify some aspects of the theme and
generates a more general state of
self-awareness. The final part of the class
is spent in self-directed exploration taking
the references movements as a starting
point. The set material is simply standing
and walking so makes no special demands
physically.
These workshops are a practical exploration
of how somatic movement practices can be
applied to the performing arts as a kind of
“invisible technique”. While they do not
necessarily teach any performable material,
somatic practices can enhance how you
perform, your ability to learn new skills
and suggest new movement vocabulary. They
also offer a way to deal with longstanding
aches and pains, and your ability to recover
from or, better still, avoid injuries.
Malcolm Manning:
I am a somatic movement researcher, educator
and performing artist - movement is life and
just about any situation can be analysed in
terms of what moves, how, where, when and
with what quality - I am fascinated by how
people move and by how I move, both alone
and in relation to others .
I have been based in Finland for the last
eight years where I am currently a part-time
senior lecturer in the dance department of
the Theatre Academy of Finland (Finland's
highest level dance education) and have
helped to develop and teach around two
months a year on the one-year Dance And
Somatics education in Joensuu. I also tour
Europe teaching, at various venues including
TanzQuartier Wien and ImpulsTanz.

CONTACT IMPROVISATION WORKSHOP
PLUS SOMATIC MORNING CLASSES
5-DAY INTENSIVE WITH MALCOLM MANNING
morning classes 11am - 1:30pm: Awareness Perception Presence class
afternoon workshop 3:00pm - 6:00pm: Contact Improvisation workshop
WHEN: Monday – Friday, January 25-29, 2010
WHERE: Schwelle 7, Berlin, Germany
------------ --------- --------- --------
WORKSHOP: CONTACT IMPROVISATIONAL MIND
Contact Improvisation Workshop - advanced only - (3:00pm - 6:00pm)
(Includes participation in the morning classes - see below - 11:00am -
1:30pm)
When are we truly improvising CI and when are we just running through
familiar patterns and pathways? As we become more experienced and
skilled in the form, how can we keep our dancing fresh and
improvisational?
One way is to study how to be present to ourselves and to extend our
perception of ourselves. The Awareness Perception Presence morning class
(see below) series aims to address to these issues. In the context of
this workshop, you could think of them as an extended warm-up or
preparation to dance CI.
In the afternoon sessions, we'll follow a process that unfolds by
exploring a series of simple CI scores designed to interrupt the
familiar. We'll also create our own scores, explore some less-common
contact technique, watch each other dancing, and dialogue on the
improvisational nature of CI.
During the workshop, the exploration of scores will be directed mainly
toward the question of improvisation in CI. My experience is that they
are interesting to watch and also open up strategies for performing CI.
The workshop will therefore culminate in a showing where we will dance
some of the scores that we have worked on for an audience.
Participation in the workshop showing is not absolutely necessary but
strongly encouraged. It will take place on Friday, January 29, 2010 at
8:30 PM
For the afternoon workshop there is a limited number of places,
available for participants with at least three years experience of
dancing and studying contact improvisation. If you are interested then
please write a brief outline of your experience and interest in
attending (no more than one side A4).
