CI FortbildungHamburg 2014/15
mit Elske Seidel & Daniel Werner

(deutsche Version s.u.)
Please note: There has been a change of dates (see below)!

In our CI Training Program we wish to take the intensive experience of a workshop into a longer process, opening a field of continuous learning, relating and dancing with each other in an on-going group. We want to offer a space to develop our moving body, deepen our understanding and personal journey into this dance through a longer period of time.

This CI Training Program creates the opportunity to study Contact Improvisation systematically and continuously with a group of people we come to trust. It offers precise technique and support for the individual learning process.

In the technical part of our investigation, we will work in smaller groups in order to offer ‚tools’ and material for people with different levels of experience. We seek to create space for individual interests and needs.

In our work it is important to us to maintain the balance between a technical exploration as a development of a mutual language and the freedom of speaking this language – dancing – communicating, improvising, playing freely in dance.

We are interested in how awareness, trust and feeling within the group will change, develop and grow – how is our communication, our interaction and our actual way of being together influenced by our dance practice and our time together?

This year we are excited to offer an ‘open continuation’ which will build on the experience and material of the previous CI Workshop Series in Hamburg. We want to create the opportunity to learn and play with a group of people sharing a common knowledge of CI. Nonetheless we would like to invite people who are interested in this kind of learning environment. We would like to offer inspiration and new material for dancers with more experience as well as opening an easy and welcoming entry for those who come in freshly.

All participants will receive a certificate including the content of the training program.

Daniel and Elske share many years of friendship, uncountable jams and dances. Their mutual fascination for Contact Improvisation provides the center in both their lives. In 2003 they co-founded the ContAct Dance Company, investigating CI as a source for performance work, with a special interest in site-specific art. Both work as independent artists, somatic movement researchers and dancers; both have extensive experience in teaching CI internationally, as well as organizing and facilitating large CI events. They are co-organizers of both the Contact Festival Fuerteventura, since 2009, and the North Sea CI Camp. http://canarian.contactfestival.info/

In cooperating for the workshop series in Hamburg they wish to combine their creative energy and interests, support and inspire each other and every single one coming.

She likes to create CI events which bring the studio focus outside into nature and into the experience. She enjoys gathering community merging life and dance together.
She has taught CI in Europe, Canada, the U.S., Argentina, Israel, Russia and Japan.

Some of her projects are:
Dance your questions: CI Research Week / Ponderosa (Ger), Contact Saturdays                                             Berlin/ Tanzfabrik Berlin, 23h Jam Berlin, Berlin Weekend Jam, Contact Festival Fuerteventura (Spain) and North Sea CI Camp (Ger).
