3-day CI Immersion
This workshop is part of a 3-day immersion in contact improvisation, in Ghent, from May 29 to 31.
This is a three-day program with several workshops. You can register for the whole CI-immersion or for separate activities.
In the mornings we focus on movement research from very different perspectives.
In the afternoons, two teachers always teach together. They exchange their movement language and approaches with each other and the group.
After the afternoon session, there is room for integration and experiment:
During “New dialogues w/ Mileen & Stephanie” Mileen Borgonjon and Stéphanie Auberville meet on the floor and create together.
Stéphanie is a dancer, improvisor and choregrapher with a wide experience in impro performance. She often collaborates with other impro artists (musicians, dancers, poets,...) with whom she also likes to explore spaces outside the theatre. In her sessions of CI she brings along her (com)passion for the Human Being in all its diversity and richness. Sourcing from The Tuning Scores of Lisa Nelson her approach invites for our perception and minds to open. Through simple yet fundamental scores and invitations she touches core principles of CI that will inspire both new and seasoned CI practicioners.
Mileen is a dancer, performer, especially at home in the field of impro performance and passionate about contact improvisation. For her, CI is an inspiration for movement research and a platform to reflect on the greatest “encounter” and improvisation we call “life. She loves a dynamic and playful entry into the movement principles of this rich form, with a nod in the process to our poetic layers.
Her own journey as a mover, dancer and performer led her past several masters in “instant composition,” and past inspiring movement and somatic methods including Thai yoga massage, Breathwork, Gaga, Ido Portal Method and Playfight.
