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.

The mornings will 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:

During “New dialogues w/ Siri & Ady,” Siri Clinckspoor and Ady Elzam meet on the floor and create together.

Siri enjoys delving into the different dimensions of the body through experiential anatomy. Using metaphors, the different layers of ourselves as moving beings are explored. With her background in contemporary dance, Authentic Movement, contact improvisation, dance therapy, and Pilates, and inspired by practices such as Qi Gong and Ido Portal Method, Siri combines the concrete with the intangible in an exploration of our sources of creation.

Ady loves to engage in experiences, through play, dynamics and fun. He flirts with the limits of the known and the comfortable to experiment with the magic formula of learning: playing and going beyond what we already know.

Ady is curious by nature. He loves new challenges and goes deep into what he does. His dance path brought besides masters, exciting collaborations with several other dancers. He integrated the Ilan Lev Method in his dance practice. Much of his work, life vision and attitude draws from the richness of this method.

Practical

Wear clothes in which you can move freely. Bring a bottle of water soft knee pads. We dance barefoot.

Level of experience

Level X: whether you are a starting or more seasoned CI dancer, this workshop will give you new inspiration and open up new territory. Some movement training or dance experience is recommended.
