The CI Immersion

This conversation table is part of a 3-day immersion in contact improvisation, in Ghent, from May 29 to 31.

This is a three-day activity with several workshops. You can register for the whole CI-immersion or for separate activities.

The mornings focus on movement research from different angles.

In the afternoons, two facilitators co-teach. They exchange their movement language and approaches to CI with each other and the group.

After the afternoon session, there is room for integration and experiment:

The Conversation table

At the CI-conversation table, we talk about contact improvisation and our reflections and questions related to it.

We will ask questions, listen to each other's ideas and visions, get inspired, agree, disagree, change the subject, find new perspectives and perhaps (but most likely not) arrive at conclusions together.

How do we do this? We have a table, six chairs, a large sheet of paper, markers and pens,.... and the conversation can begin. With spoken language, images and writing. Only those sitting on one of the chairs can speak or add something. Five chairs can be taken, the sixth one is always free for a next person to join the conversation.

Joining

There is no need to register for the jam. Come as you are!

Practical

This conversation will be in English mainly. If you are interested but need translation to Dutch, feel free to ask.

Level of experience

Niveau X: everyone, regardless of experience in CI, is welcome to join.
