Portugal Contact Festival
Contact Improvisation, Live Music & Community
With Rita Vilhena, Shifu Ash, Samuel del Bello, Nora Hajos, Fernando Lee and more.
This year we bring an eclectic team of professionals to guide you in the finest exploration of the Contact Improvisation universe. Our team comes from all over Europe, Asia and Latin America. We want to diversify to unite and specify to expand beyond.
“Go beyond small to the place where no message is being given. Start there. Let small be the first of the pleasures to come.”
Steve Paxton 2022
Artistic Vision
Nora Hajos brings the connection with the subtleties of the inner work of CI, Shifu Ash brings the martial and playful, while Rita Vilhena explores the performative aspect of the practice. The community feeling is being created from the source of this festival with Samuel del Bello and Volker Eschman that is being felt between the practices, especially in the Jams.
Our proposal
Throughout the festival, the music of Fernando Lee will paint our dance floor with sensibility and creativity.
Nationality doesn’t define a person but can trace something about their influences. Our team comes from all over Europe, Asia and Latin America. We want to diversify to unite and specify to expand beyond. We wish that individual forces make a strong original group of beings.
