Spring CI Residency
Somatics, Technique & Improv/Performance
Three themes, three visions. With Vega Luukkonen, Hugh Stanier & Rick Noldine
Escape to the stunning Algarve, Portugal, for a transformative two week CI Residency blending workshops, jamming and research in a stunning natural setting.
Join us for an immersive Contact Improvisation Experience for two weeks of workshops, jamming and research in the art of Contact Improvisation in Quinta Braz.
Dancer, Dance Professional and Artist
Two weeks to grow with the support of three of Europe’s most prominent teachers:
This longer event is designed for those eager to deepen their understanding and hone their practice with fellow enthusiasts.It is an invitation to people wishing to establish a deeper understanding of the form and dance with other movers to find morerigor and focus in their approach to Contact Improvisation. It is a curated frame for those wishing to invest time and space to delve into their dance-practice, in beautiful nature surroundings supporting their process.
This two week study is structured as a series of workshops and a three day jam interlude. You can also book a single Intensive or Jam only.
The workshops will be articulated around three areas of study: Somatics, Technique and Improv/Performance. They will be led by three experienced teachers who will share their unique vision on how we weave together the subtle knowledge of somatic awareness, the athletic responsiveness of CI and the spacious generosity of the performer.
Our proposal
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.
