Experienced teachers explore different aspects of dance, improvisation and performing arts. They offer skill building intensives, classes, labs, theoretical & practical research. All levels welcome!
Artistic Vision
In close collaboration with the Indian contact dance community, the arambolian musicians and artists we create an unique festival with in- depth somatic education, strong sense of community and colorful artistic exchange.
Our proposal
Please notice that rather than a short -time visit we want to encourage you to stay for the whole season of events. This opportunity ‘the India immersion’ includes the trainings, jams, festivals for the whole month of January. The more you participate, the stronger the involvement with the community.
Together we are working towards a sustainable and stable contact improvisation scene in India, inviting Indian dancers and performers to the festival and providing a platform for community exchange.
We would like to have a cross-border cooperation with the possibility to invite Indian artists to Europe.
