Contact Improvisation Intensive

Ubud, Bali

5 - 13 July 2025

Facilitator: Ivan

Timings:

11 am to 3 pm

5,6 + 8,9 + 11,12,13 July

This intensive can be called fundamental-advanced.

The main idea of it is to gather most of the general concepts and technical principals of contact improvisation and go through them one-by-one: starting with examples of simple movement patterns which include each principal and then learning more and more challenging and exciting patterns that require more experience and physical training.

This method based on the concept of deduction (from general idea to particular action). It might require some intellectual work, but as result opens very wide possibility to have more than just set of skills but a map which will help you to acquire new skills even after the workshop.

This program use visualization of CI principals via pictograms which helps to remember them and apply in the dance.

It’s suggested to go through basic training in contact improvisation before joining this intensive.
