Event Details
Soft & wild … this is coming from a person who is passionate about deep listening, slow somatic work, effortlessness in mind & body – someone who doesn’t like forcing and pushing.
In my own dance a soft and slow approach lets me find the inner connectedness and trust with others to eventually move fast, to find my strength, make quirky choices, challenge myself and the predictable flow to go juicily beyond sense making.
I want to invite this quality while keeping the space safe enough. There is some animal quality that I’d like to ignite, where softness, availability and openness stay present when the dance embraces the wild and untamed.
Somatic work and technical essentials of CI will strengthen our shared vocabulary.
The Workshop will give inspiration for long term practitioners and is also welcoming for people who already have a sense of the basics of CI and want to go further and deeper. If in doubt check in with us

A vision from Katja Mustonen often resurfaces in my dancing and teaching:
“I wish to be available at any moment with all my body parts for multiple directions.” I find this an intriguing proposal for consistently having enriching and satisfying dances.
“I wish to be available at any moment with all my body parts for multiple directions.” I find this an intriguing proposal for consistently having enriching and satisfying dances.
My primary approach to finding greater availability in my dance is by calming the busy mind and softening into the body’s liquidity – like water, always ready and willing to flow in all possible directions. And there is also another kind of availability, one with a higher tone: a readiness in the body and an alertness in the mind, prepared for, even expecting the unpredictable. How do we engage the muscular system to transform effort into juicy strength, without losing that fluid, water-like availability? How do we get the pelvis ready to follow in all directions – also against gravity? How do I access the willingness to run, jump, and fall? And when is it actually time to not be available? When do I need to retreat, to rest, to disconnect from others and potter around in my own bubble?
The end of February is a special time. We’ve grown weary of the long winter and the first signs of spring are beginning to emerge. We’ll feel more of that and we can embrace this shift by supporting one another in activating our bodies and minds. I envision flow, strength, quirkiness, questioning habits, spaciousness, fun, and depth as flavours for our time together. My wish is for an explorative, supportive space that holds us in our humanness, welcoming whatever each of us brings to the day.
Participants should be very familiar with Contact Improvisation technique, which will be our common language for this Intensive. In case of doubt, check in with us.
