Through focused study, discussion, feedback and loads of dancing we will look to develop our pleasure in movement and bravery in exploring the possibilities of dance:

– Somatics: discover and harness the power of guided meditation and somatics to soften the tone or the body and awareness of the mind for dancing.

– Technique: technical exploration will be framed around carefully crafted workshops that will aim to help you Improve your CI technique, expand your CI vocabulary with new set patterns, acquire new tools and skills to develop your physical awareness and coordination and get personal feedback.

– Improv & Performance: XXX

– 3 day Jam: a weekend of Jamming, labs, bodywork, movement research and celebration of Contact Improvisation. Curated and facilitated by Rick Nodine, Vega Luukkonen & Hugh Stanier, this extended framework will give you plenty of time to integrate new material, take risks in fine tuning your artistic expression or just have fun and will hold space for movement labs and bodywork exchange.

Time off will allow space to contemplate, follow your needs, breath, rest and enjoy nature and trips to the beach. Quinta Braz is wonderful farmland in the South of Portugal, with fig- and orange trees, a geodesic dome, a swimming pool, open kitchen, fire-pit,camping possibility and a comfortable house with all utilities.
