TUNE IN! Contact Improvisation/Somatics/Release Technique
Weekend-Workshop 2.+3.9.2023, 10.00-17.00, beginner/open level
with Christian Apschner and maRia Probst
We invite you on a journey into the three core elements of our approach to dance. You will learn the basics of Contact Improvisation how to give and take weight and to play with the rolling point of contact. With Somatics you can rediscover your inherent physical immediacy of being a child in motion and learn to better understand the interaction of muscles, tendons, bones and organs. In Anatomical Release Technique you will experience what it feels like to let go of unnecessary tension and release it directly in movement. These movement experiences will help you to find ease, efficiency in free dancing and Contact Improvisation.
We also understand Contact Improvisation as a form of non-verbal communication and encounter, in which we learn to pay equal attention to our own physical and mental needs and limits and those of our dance partners. We would like to give space to these experiences in verbal feedback rounds.
Target group: Anyone who would like to get a first, deeper insight into the world of Contact Improvisation, RELEASZE dance training and Somatics. Also intended as a Contact Improvisation starter kit and orientation workshop. As always, experienced dancers are welcome.
“Contact Flying Skills” - advanced
20.+21.1.2024, 10.00-17.00
with Christian Apschner and Lui Springer
The rollingpoint workshop classic for all CI dancers with sporting ambitions!
This technique-oriented workshop invites CI dancers who would like to engage in flying, falling and acrobatic elements. A main focus of the weekend will be practicing different lifts and jumps and dancing upside down on our hands.
We create a connection between the athletic and meditative and learn to take weight in a body-friendly way through anatomically good alignment, tonus modulation and the use of momentum. In our learning process we want to find the ability to follow the flow of movement and at the same time to perceive the dance so presently that this flow can directed and redirected in a playful way.
A solid basic CI and dance experience as well as good physical and mental fitness are recommended for this workshop.
