Contact Improvisation from Water to Land 

Watermotion, Water Contact and "Tools & Toys for CI" for all Levels

When floating in water the body remembers early movement patterns and qualitys, which underlie our highly complex movement potential. Playing with elements of Body-Mind Centering and the developmental movement patterns we find a deeply sensual acces to movement. Dancing Contact in water is opening new dimensions and options that the will guide and nourish the body when moving on land.
On land we will give the body time and space for the experience to be carried and supported also within gravity.
We will yield and surrender into whatever is carrying us. 
"Support precedes movement" - before every movement the body is searching for and clarifying his relationship with gravity and support. On this BASE we find effortlessness, easy tone modulation and juicy-organic power.
Furthermore we will work with so called „pathways“ (movement sequences), to learn and deepen Contact Improvisation material, and to experience and understand the underlying principles  - the technical approach of this Intensive is based on the CI Training Program Berlin: www.dancecontact.de ).

With different scores we will create spaces and atmospheres, where playfulness, technique and improvisation will melt into a truely multidimensional experience of being and dancing.
