CI
Training
Program 2014/15
Hamburg
(Germany)
Elske
Seidel
and Daniel Werner
Attention:
there has been a change of
dates, see below!
In our CI
Training Program we wish to
take the intensive
experience of a workshop
into a longer process,
opening a field of
continuous learning,
relating and dancing with
each other in an on-going
group. We want to offer a
space to develop our moving
body, deepen our
understanding and personal
journey into this dance
through a longer period of
time.
This CI
Training Program creates the
opportunity to study Contact
Improvisation systematically
and continuously with a
group of people we come to
trust. It offers precise
technique and support for
the individual learning
process.
In the
technical part of our
investigation, we will work
in smaller groups in order
to offer ‚tools’ and
material for people with
different levels of
experience. We seek to
create space for individual
interests and needs.
In our work it
is important to us to
maintain the balance between
a technical exploration as a
development of a mutual
language and the freedom of
speaking this language –
dancing – communicating,
improvising, playing freely
in dance.
We are
interested in how awareness,
trust and feeling within the
group will change, develop
and grow – how is
our communication,
our interaction and our
actual way of being together
influenced by our dance
practice and our time
together?
This year we
are excited to offer an
‘open continuation’ which
will build on the experience
and material of the previous
CI Workshop Series in
Hamburg. We want to create
the opportunity to learn and
play with a group of people
sharing a common knowledge
of CI. Nonetheless we would
like to invite people who
are interested in this kind
of learning environment. We
would like to offer
inspiration and new material
for dancers with more
experience as well as
opening an easy and
welcoming entry for those
who come in freshly.
All
participants will receive
a certificate including
the content of the
workshop series.

Daniel
and Elske share
many years of friendship,
uncountable jams and
dances. Their mutual
fascination for Contact
Improvisation provides the
center in both their
lives. In 2003 they
co-founded the ContAct
Dance Company,
investigating CI as a
source for performance
work, with a special
interest in site-specific
art. Both work as
independent artists,
somatic movement
researchers and dancers;
both have extensive
experience in teaching CI
internationally, as well
as organizing and
facilitating large CI
events. They are
co-organizers of both the
Contact Festival
Fuerteventura, since 2009,
and the North Sea CI
Camp. http://canarian.contactfestival.info/
In cooperating
for the workshop series in
Hamburg they wish to combine
their creative energy and
interests, support and
inspire each other and every
single one coming.
