The winter and spring of 2019 will be for us a period of traveling, dancing, teaching, learning & jamming with dancers from all around the world. In June, all this gathered energy will culminate with our 4rth edition of Contact Improvisation Festival in Bucharest that will last for 3 weeks and will be full of dancing and participation options for everybody.
Our desire is to create each year a framework for learning and practicing Contact Improvisation as an art and dance form. We invite experienced teachers and dancers to facilitate the process through intensive classes, workshops, discussions, laboratories and jam sessions structured in a detailed schedule and supported by a friendly team.
Contact Improvisation festivals bring together dancers, performers, somatic practitioners, free movers, improvisation artists and people that want to discover and explore their body intelligence and new ways of expressing their artistic side. They offer a practice space where discipline is playful, precision is alive and freedom is a responsibility. Festivals are based on a preset structure in which we can actively learn, exchange ideas and skills, meet and discuss with people with similar or different movement background, or just dance, be present, and hold space for each other.
Our festival is happening in the middle of Bucharest, close to the daily movement of city life. This inspires us to appreciate time, space and clarity both in organization and dance. Find out which part suites best your desires, needs and curiosity: pre-festival // festival intensive // post-festival
Also since our festival dates synchronize with the yearly event GLOBAL UNDERSCORE we are very exited to join it on the 22nd of June and dance for 4 hours with many other dancers around the world.
"I would like to attend an intensive CI workshop but also have my day time free. Pre-festival workshop with Scott Wells is the best option for my schedule."
"When I am learning something I like to dive fully into the process and focus only on it for a while. I am interested in the 10 days CI intensives and jams."
"Dancing in nature helps me connect with my authenticity and the basic elements of life. I would like to join the dance retreat in Transylvania."
