Improvisation / Composition / Imagination

Tools for communication and interaction in the present

 
Unfolding a territory for research, creation and cooperation as fertile ground for generating a reflection on dance making in the present moment, the artists build a space of encounter and construction of reality, taking a new perspective on the dancing body from an individual and a collective experience.
The Tools cultivate different modes of attention within the perceptual/sensorial/visual/kinesthetic mind-body to be shared in a compositional space. The co-creation in present time takes place and reveals a diversity of relationships. It allows a study of the senses and their role in the organization of the bodies in movement.
 

Some questions:

How to create a context where dances can emerge, expand and dialogue?

How to reach an attentional state of readiness and full presence while embracing the unknown and accessing the conditions and its possibilities? How to keep noticing and opening doors not by planning, but by letting it happen?

 

The proposal:

To immerse into an isolated attention.

To absorb and to deliver through a permeable body.

To shift into inclusive attention.

To practice observation, of our own and of others, in a small scale and on a larger scale, in stillness and in motion.

To craft listening, awareness and relationship.

To allow change while riding the unknown.

To revitalize the relationship to the different senses.

To practice watching and being watched.

To not see with the eyes but to see with our body.

To nourish the improvisation engaging the kinesthetic responses to memories, thoughts and imagination.

To access a fully embodied physical communication, strengthen and develop the dance practice.


For those with previous experience in CI, Improvisation & Dance.

Limited spaces, prior registration is necessary.

 

DANIELA SCHWARTZ (RA/FR) & ECKHARD MUELLER (DE/FR) they have been traveling and collaborating for the past 15 years all over Europe and the Americas, sharing their vision and practice of CI, offering CI and Improvisation workshops and developing projects based in Improvisation. Invited to teach in the frame of Universities, Dance Programs of Theaters and Studios and Dance Festivals. By collaborating, their interests influence each other, creating diverse and surprising pathways. They share the passion for improvisation, the present moment and how bodies communicate through touch. Daniela's interest in the details and the capacity of attention and Eckhard's fascination with the limits of physicality plunge them together into the research of perception and sensation to rediscover an open movement dialogue through the body. Both are co-organizers of the contactfestival in Freiburg, Germany. + info www.dani-ecki.Daniela Schwartz
