Very happy to announce the registration for our In Silence project has opened!
Join us for a unique somatic journey into Contact Improvisation, where movement, stillness, and deep connection intertwine. Guided by Alessandro Rivellino, this gathering invites dancers to refine presence, sensitivity, and experience the poetry of perception.
Organising together with my friends: Alessandro, Lana, Erica and Karka. Really looking forward!
Of course there is the main Dutch CI page with a live agenda with events: https://www.amsterdamjam.nl/calendar.htm

June 21-23 ALMOST WEIGHTless Contact IMPRO with Artem Markov (Amsterdam)
Artem is an amazing teacher, deeply steeped in somatics and bringing the freshest and cutting edge excercises to really grow and "go beyond" as a dancer.
This time he is going to teach us how to reach moments of weightlessness as we dance. Fluidity and lightness are amongst his main qualities, I’d say. His dances are always dynamic, light and very alive. He makes the learning atmosphere very deep and rich, which I love.
Reading the partner, reading the timing, trusting as opposed to planning and forcing, or going into familiar patterns. More info and registration https://www.movementresearch.nl/

August 11-17 What moves you? Summer intensive with Lily Kiara (Amsterdam) Not exactly CI but a very interesting program with a gifted teacher. What are the dances we make in this time, the stories, the poems? What do we respond to and how? What moves you? What stimulates you to move, what to be still? How does it affect the shared dances? Shared by dancing together and shared by watching? What moves us and what do we move? https://lilykiara.nl/summer-intensive-2024/
August 23-25 Fly like a bird, land like a cat intensive with Tom Goldhand (This one in Amsterdam, also available in Utrecht) Amazing teacher with great workshops and retreats! Check out his website https://tomgoldhand.com/ In this workshop we will experience and explore how we can override our fear reactions into a free form, dancing and extending it into flying. By the end of the workshop we will see how we will be flying on a partner in a safe way, and how to feel secure and to ride this flow even in a less secure situations, which in the past might have brought our reflexes and reactions to burst out.
