During "New dialogs w/ Siri & Mileen," Mileen Borgonjon and Siri Clinckspoor meet on the dance floor to co-create.

Siri Clinckspoor 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.

Mileen Borgonjon is a dancer and performer, primarily at home in the field of improv performance and passionate about contact improvisation. For her, CI is a source of inspiration for movement research and a platform to reflect on the great 'encounter' and improvisation we call 'life'. She enjoys interacting dynamically and playfully with the movement principles of this practice, with a nod to poetic layering. Her own journey as a mover, dancer, and performer led her thru various master's programs in 'instant composition' and thru inspiring movement and somatic methods including Thai yoga massage, Breathwork, Gaga, the Ido Portal Method, and Playfight.

This workshop is part of a three-day immersion in Contact Improvisation on May 14–15–16. The program includes several workshops, a jam, a conversation table, and a performance evening. You are welcome to join one or multiple parts of the program!

Practical

Wear comfortable clothes, without sharp or metal parts, in which you can move freely and bring your own bottle of water. There is a filter to refill. A pair of light knee pads might be comfortable. We dance barefoot.

Level of experience

Level X: everyone is welcome. During this 3-day workshop, we want to create an environment where we can collectively broaden and deepen our practice, experience, and perspective on contact improvisation. Both beginner and experienced contact improvisation dancers are welcome and will find inspiration, deepening, and engaging reflection here. Some movement training or dance experience is recommended.
