We will spend the time of transition from the old year to the new one dancing amid snow-covered forests and hills in a warm house with an open view to the landscape, winter sunrise and sunset. We will slide into the body, liven up and together with masters of improvised music we will jam a dance both gentle and wild, both attentive and rash. Enchanted, sensitised, immersed, sweaty and with eyes shining wide bright. Again and again we tune, search and change in contact.

Contact improvisation in Orlice Mountains is an opportunity to retreat from noise, to get closer to each other and to see purely, to feel our own body and to listen deeply. Movement and physical contact, live music, great dishes, walks throughout the landscape, swimming in the ice-cold water under the rock in confluence of two wild rivers… that’s the coolest New Year’s Eve for us.

You are welcome no matter how long you are familiar with contact improvisation or if you are just tempted to discover it. You will find out how little is enough.

What can you expect:

• Four three-hour jams with short collective body and mind harmonisation and warm up at the beginning. Landing in the Body Jam (Monday 20:00 – 23:00), Jamming in Memories Landscape (Tuesday 15:00 – 18:00), Balancing Ritual (Tuesday 20:00 – 23:00), Transformations and Transparency – Meditation in Contact (Wednesday 10:00 – 13:00). At the jams the room becomes space of collective creation, harmonized cooperation and attentive perception.
• Morning lesson for body and mind inspiration which will help you find mobility and lightness in contact improvisation, connect with your body, open your senses and release your fantasy in the right moments to make decisions (Tuesday 10:00 – 12:30).
• Midnight passage into the New Year (Tuesday 23:30 – Wednesday 1:00)
