CI got into my life first time in Portugal. I visited a class, not knowing what i was doing but somehow I was hooked. So when I flew back home I knew I want to know more about this dance, the movement, the touch and the communication that takes place within Contact Imrovisation. For me communication is key (not only) for Contact Improvisation. By this I mean: Communication within myself, through the other body and trying to deeply understand how the other is communicating with me, within him/herself and through my body. In 2020 I even wrote my bachelor thesis about the embodiement of gender in the contact improvisation. This also led me to the idea to create a safer space for FLINTA* and make courses for them only.
Since 2022 I try to get a deeper understanding of the physical aspects of contact improvisation. I try to answer myself questions like: How does the awareness of structure (bones, muscles,...) influence my movement, and how can I use physics to make my dance getting filled with ease.
