Workshops
Embodiment into Contactimprovisation
Find the sweet spot where movement happens naturally
at dancers village
close to Colos, Alentejo, Portugal
24 + 25 October
Start 17h
70-150 €
In this somatic intensive we will arrive deeply within ourselves, on the ground and with other bodies and explore the spot where movement happens from itself. We will emerge into Contact Improvisation from this nourished and grounded place.
Through elements of movement evolution and somatic explorations, we create space for aliveness that wants to move – and for what might be in the way.
With somatic tools of nervous system regulation, we slow down, shake off stress, let movement arise. We experience our fascia as a source of deep regulation and discover our core muscles and psoas as the key to moving with ease, resilience and connection.
From this, the impulse to move, explore, and express can arise without effort. Contact Improvisation and dance flow naturally from that. Together, we’ll explore that “sweet spot” where relaxation & trust meet aliveness & creativity – let`s call it „flow“ 🙂
A workshop for deep embodiment, nervous system regulation, and flowy CI dancing – open to all levels.

You can look forward to wonderful Contact Improvisation, and we’ll have plenty of time for encounters, getting to know each other, and community.

I’m so happy that I’ve been able to invite two wonderful teachers: Vega Luukkonen from Finland and Ami Schütte from Bad Belzig, who will provide us with amazing Contact Improvisation and Embodiment classes throughout the weekend.
Both of them create spaces with great sensitivity, clarity, and open hearts, where everyone—whether a beginner or advanced dancer—feels safe and invited to dive deeper into their own movement practice.
