This is a rare opportunity to study with both Katarina and Ray.

Arriving on Wednesday, Aug3rd for orientation and the first evening jam. This workshop ends after breakfast on Saturday, Aug13th.

CI IA: UNCOVERING THE DANCE

August 4-7, come to the driftless region of Northeast Iowa for the second annual festival of Contact Improvisation in Iowa! Come jam, study, play, eat & commune with dancers of the midwest. Study with intensive teacher, Anya Cloud, who will teach on the topic of “intelligent recklessness”. With Anya, we will learn to move with care without being careful, we will find exhilaration, composition, bewilderment, and delight to increase physical range, and we will expand the possibilities of what a contact dance can be through intelligent risk taking and by saying yes to what arises. Come dance and connect with jam hosts Blake Nellis, Jane Hawley, Sophie Rog, Jennifer Schmidt, Chrissy Nelson, and Hannah McCarger, all of whom have been inspired and invigorated by the unique dance and CI culture in NE Iowa. This August, we will continue expanding the root system of dance here in the heart of the midwest. We will uncover our unedited impulses, name and expand our edges, and flirt with fear on the dance floor.

CI IA is located in the beautiful studios of the Luther College campus at 700 College Drive, Decorah, IA 52101

Check in for the event will be at 4:00pm on August 4th. The typical day includes: a warm up, intensive class, fundamentals, outdoor time, open jamming and ice cream! We will end the festival with a closing circle on Sunday, August 7th at 12:30pm

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

Dancing in the studio, in nature and water – in a wonderfull natural surrounding in South Germany, residential workshop.

see http://www.earthandwaterdance.com/summer-intensive-e.html for details
Teaching Manou Blanchard (CI, WATSU, waterdance) and Adrian Russi (CI)

Our body is our territory. A vast landscape.
Hills, rivers, bones.
Moss on eyes. Flesh on ground.
Blood running through earth
flowing into the heart
of the land
Nerves caress trees
Heaven breaks
into a singing of birds so sweet
it drips honey on the tongue

Program
In this full week workshop we explore dance in relation to the surroundings. A continuous journey of performance in which our bodies explore inner and outer landscapes. Performative work, research. Contact improvisation in nature, instant composition. The dance will be supported by sessions of bodywork, writing, voice explorations and meditation.

Location
We dance in the rustic studio, in forest and fields, historical ruins and water. And ofcourse the silent green environment of Createrre.

Teachers Johhny Schoofs and Kristien Sonnevijlle
You have the opportunity to work with the artistic knowledge of two experienced performers within the field of improvised dancing and site specific work. Both intrigued by the body in a specific environment and the body itself as a place, a landscape.

We will gather to share in a family of contact improvisation dancers residing in Black Rock City. Sharing meals, dance, interaction in an ontological space, we’ll offer Contact Improvisation Classes and more at Burning Man.

We’ll also be at many festivals in the east coast — Playa Del Fuego, Freeform, Wickerman, PEX, and Transformus, see more when you login at http://campcontact.org

In this 12 day workshop participants will be led through the foundation exercises to Contact Improv including Tai Chi, Vipassana Meditation and Aikido.

This workshop is for all levels. There are many experienced dancers returning to participate in this workshop as the skills are not learned in a day. Tai Chi, Spiral Rolls, Crescent Rolls, Aikido Rolls, are all skills that everyone should practise regularly. These skills will make anyone a better Contact Improv dancer.

Vipassana Meditation is not taught at Leviathan Studio. Participants are expected to endeavour to be quiet and still. Napping or sitting quietly in the forest is welcomed. Coffee and conversation is discouraged. We sit for one hour, three times per day.

There are two dance classes per day of 2 hours. During the day we practise the skills to get us ready for the evening jams.
This is a well honed workshop. At the request of many previous participants we have made it longer for 2016. There are rewards for effort. There will be plenty of chocolate, but not during valuable class time. Come to play seriously and seriously play.

Participants are well supported with extraordinary meals. The gardens are abundant and local. Eat all the kale you want. Meat is locally sourced and organic, served on the side at every meal.

Mark Young has been studying and practising Tai Chi and Contact Improv, attending numerous workshops since 1997. Leviathan Studio is his creation.
