Dance workshop

(Contact) Improvisation & Composition

facilitated by Daniela Schwartz - Eckhard Müller
21 - 25 / 07. 21 in Freiburg, Germany

In CI the body follows the reflexive movements in its effort to keep a physical dialogue with other bodies mainly by focusing in the mosaic of sensations. If we add to the field of our attention Time & Space and play compositionally: How the relationship to our own dance, the group and the environment will be affected, informed and transformed?
We will explore and expand the sense of being and creating together through Touch (direct and/or extended), Space and Time. We will develop awareness of the choices we make as we Dance.

Touch will enter when the current sanitary measures in the region allow it and (if) participants are ready for it.

This Workshop requires some experience in CI and Improvisation combined with the desire to enter into compositional work. Please send us a short bio.

Cost: till 30 of June 250€, later 280€
