     Contact Improvisation and Body-Mind Centering® BASICS
with Heike Kuhlmann and Elske Seidel
November 1+2, 2014
Sat 10-6, Sun 10-5
Zentrum für Yoga & Stimme BerlinAn invitation to find your beginning in Contact Improvisation,
 going into detail and enjoying the discoveries. Experiential anatomy based on the principles of Body-Mind Centering (BMC) will deepen our understanding about our body and that of our partners.Through Hands-On work and specific Movement Research we will explore our personal movement impulses. Finding the foundations of our inspiration within our bodies we can uncover our creative source. Focussing our awareness while engaging our imagination allows a clearer idea of who we are, as well as inviting us to a place where we feel at ease with possibility and play. From this safe place within us, we begin to discover our dance in relation to ourselves, the earth and another body. We will touch gravity, communicating and listening through our bodies as we dance with the fundamental principles of Contact Improvisation and it's magic.
For people starting with CI as well as those who are interested in BMC and would like to deepen their fundamentals.
What is BMC®?Body-Mind Centering is an approach of experiential anatomy, which has been developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Anatomical images and information give us a clear understanding of our body and help us to focus on certain structures. Using these structures, touch, and active imagination, we find movement. A wider sense of our body can give us movement inspiration and possibilities  and can support us to be more present and at home in ourselves. We give our body the time to experience itself, to regenerate and to express itself.Place:Zentrum für Yoga & Stimme

I live and work in Berlin as a dancer, choreographer, teacher and bodyworker. I am an Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapist (DiplIBMT), student from LInda Hartley, and hold an MA in Performance Studies/Choreography. 
I am interested in the integration of body and mind into our dance and our life. This manifests in being present in the different layers of our body, researching new movement impulses, and repatterning by becoming more aware of our habits. I love to dive into the immense ocean of my body to discover myself as I am and in new ways, and to meet others.
In the last years I have taught in Brasil, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and England and performed in several works internationally. In Berlin I teach contemporary dance, Embodied Anatomy based on the principles of Body-Mind Centering® (BMC), Contact Improvisation, and Mornin´Movin´ classes. 
I am organizing jams, research events, and workshops.
