Training Program 2015/16

Hamburg
(Germany)

Elske Seidel and Daniel Werner

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, somatic movement
research (learning from within) 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 Training
Program in Hamburg. We want to create the opportunity to learn and
play with a group of people sharing a common knowledge of CI. At the
same time 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
training program.

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. www.canarian.contactfestival.info
In
cooperating for the Training Program in Hamburg they wish to combine
their creative energy and interests, support and inspire each other
and every single one coming.
