BEHIND THE SCENES

A workshop for CI practitioners who are looking for more clarity in their movement practice and those intrigued by facilitating spaces for connection through the moving body.

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 will reveal and 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

A solid foundation in CI is recommended to join the workshop.
