Behind the Scenes – Jörg Hassmann 10-13 Juli in Bremen
This workshop is for CI practitioners looking for more clarity in their movement practice and those intrigued by facilitating spaces for connection through the moving body. A solid foundation in CI is
recommended.
For the last thirty years, Jörg Hassmann has been living and teaching Contact Improvisation,
shaping his unique approach to movement. Jörg asks: Why do I teach the way I do? What drives my
choice of exercises and their sequence?
In this 4-day immersive workshop, Jörg Hassmann will give insights into the thought process of his
teaching system, exploring the connection between CI techniques and somatic practices Through a
blend of practical exercises, somatic work, interactive lectures and times for focussed dancing we’ll
have the opportunity to question and explore how CI essentials interconnect.
topics:
The systematics of touch – how we communicate through physical connection
The systematics of movement – how we organize our bodies for CI
Cues of safety – creating spaces that invite courage and trust
States of body/mind for improvisation – tuning into the present moment
