EARLY BIRD JUNE 26! Festival Contact Improvisation En Provence – Rustrel (France - Provence) – July 15-21 2023

**Festival ****Contact Improvisation ****En ****Provence – ****Rustrel****(****France - ****Provence) – ****July ****15-21 2023 - VI****I********EDITION ** *VII edition of the Festival de Danse Contact Improvisation de la Provence*, in Rustrel, one of the most beautiful villages in France, located north of Apt and at the foot of the Monts de Vaucluse. A unique opportunity of immersion for 7 days, for 35 participants, to experience an exploration of dance and movement with quality workshops, jams, live music and many other proposals to share. *Festival philosophy* This festival was born from an initiative between a brother and a sister and their passion for dance. Mercè Nebot, who has lived in French Provence for 20 years, and Pep Nebot, who lives in Barcelona, have joined forces to create this space for sharing dance, creation and beauty. At each edition, people of different nationalities have gathered for the Festival, in particular from France and Spain, but each year other nationalities join us, which is very enriching and allows the establishment of a cultural bridge around art, dance and creativity. In this festival we want to prioritize some approaches: * Quality pedagogy in Contact Improvisation dance to promote better body awareness; * Welcoming a small group that will live together for a week an intimate and profound human adventure. We want to generate a sense of belonging to the group and a sense of community, by creating an inclusive, generous and supportive environment; * Contact with nature, surround yourself with aesthetic beauty and charismatic villages of the deep Provence; * The cultural exchange between participants, locals and international visitors; We have already experienced on many occasions that, when people with different cultures and life experiences get together, we all grow in a spiral of creativity and self-knowledge; * Live Contact Improvisation in its essence, with its living principles present at all times: self-respect and respect for the other, sense of group, security and creativity, movement in gravity, contact, attention and self-knowledge, among others. *The facilitators. * Below there is a more detailed description of the participants and their workshop proposals. Here there is a short synthesis: Salle Rustrel1 * Elske Seidel – (Germany): Morning intensive. Based in Berlin, is a passionate CI dancer & teacher, deeply committed to CI and its community internationally. She has been teaching dance full time and wholeheartedly for 30 years, and specifically Contact Improvisation since 2004. * Elise Malafosse – (France) : Evening Intensive. In 2014, I was struck in front of a Contact Improvisation jam! Years of experiences already oriented towards motion and touch (communication and semiotic study at university, dance, yoga, massage) facilitate my way to the practice. While I am discovering CI, I meet new body and somatic practices (Body-Mind Centering, Feldenkrais, Alexander, Rolfing, Axis Syllabus, Gaga, Playfight…). And with Body-Mind Centering, I travel deeply for 6 years, trusting the intelligence of the animal body and moving from sensing, instinct, intuition! * Sébastien Prats (France): Vocal practice and jam music. Self-taught author, composer and performer for more than 20 years, Sébastien Prats offers an artistic originality that transcends borders. Close to nature and its energies, he draws his inspiration, his poetry and his ability to create magnetic, bewitching and singular sound spaces. * Mercè Nebot – (Barcelona-Provence) – Dancer and Instructor of Wutao and free dance. With her own creation ORGANIK DANCE, she will offer us a free dance workshop that will bring us closer to our interiority and our natural potential for joy. * Pep Nebot - (Barcelona) - Contact Impro dancer for 15 years, he has participated in workshops with Nancy Stark and in more than 20 international Contact festivals. He also professionally practices contemporary and acrobatic dance. * Ophelie (France) – Professional cook with a vast experience cooking for groups in events of many kind.

If you are interested, there is a early bird discount till June 15, more Info see down greetings Eckhard, Daniela and Melanie *#3 CI Teacher Training Freiburg* Annual 4 Weeks Training Program Why?: ØMany people with a strong desire to teach CI in diverse contexts wish to have support for their path as well as: A peers group to share questions and doubts with, to gain confidence and be accompanied through their process. A safe place to practice articulation and languaging of an experience to be transmitted or shared. An environment to nourish and question their teaching practice and resources related to CI transmission/facilitation/teaching. To develop their own particular CI teaching style and strengthen their voice. How? ØWe propose a training structure with 4x one-week training in a closed group. ØIn between the training weeks there is time to continue your research/practice, find answers to questions, and hopefully find more questions. ØAs part of the training, participants will co-teach a class and receive feedback from the group. *Content of the Program:* ØWe will share the motivation to be in this program and the questions we all bring. ØCI classes will be offered as models, taught by one of the teachers’ team. ØWe will observe, talk and discuss about how to look at classes and how to analyze them. Through the discussions you will find your own filters and ways. ØWe will open space for first experiments offering co-teaching labs and discussions to a certain topic of interest and will also propose labs to your questions. ØWe will share resources, strategies and scores, which will facilitate access to new material/thoughts/ideas. *Possible Questions:* ØQuestions about teaching could be: What is CI for me? (more general) Which (content / structure / values) do I wish to provide through my teaching? How do I wish to teach (environment/quality/atmosphere of the class)? How do I prepare a class? How do I lead a class? Safety issues for a class or a jam. Do I need them? What is a CI jam for me, how would I host one? CI and socio-politics: What CI has to do with our society? CI as a performance art or/and a social dance? ** *Feedbacks:* ØWe provide different structures and methods to give/receive personal feedback within the entire group and small groups. *Formation/Diploma* ØIn CI there is no certification, anybody who wishes can become a CI teacher, this program is a frame for you to develop your teaching practice and skills. ØWe will encourage you to co-teach one entire class towards the end of the program. You will choose your group and your interest.

For me, as a long-time Contact practitioner and teacher, it is particularly valuable and inspiring to dance, learn and research together with a group over a longer period of time. This frame allows me to build and go further with you on a technical level, supporting the individual growth and potential, as well as going deeper into the somatic research, widening our perception for the subtleties, connections within and movement qualities of CI. Among many other aspects we will explore: * qualities of touch, fascia, skin communication * the subtleties of leaning and sharing weight * core techniques of falling, landing, and rising * the organic body organization of spirals through all levels * bones, structure, alignment, moving support, tensegrity - the lightness of giving and supporting weight * states of being relaxed and ready - breath, reflexes, trust * the water body – flow - liquid weight, connectedness, availability of all directions, spherical space, backspace * gravity and flying, adaptability of our body tonus in dynamic play * Duet, Trio and Ensemble – unfolding space - Awareness of connections and compositions in the space, the art and joy of jamming together Through continuous intensive practice, contact principles are embodied, they become part of our body and being. Gradually, they begin to integrate into our dance practice and beyond, unfolding into our everyday life and our connections. *Module 1* *30 September – 1 October 2023* Saturday 12:15-3:15pm & 4:45-7:45pm Sunday 10am-1pm & 2:30pm-4:30pm *Module 2* *10-12 November 2023* Friday 7-9:30pm Saturday 10:30am-1:30pm & 3-6pm Sunday 10:30am-2pm (followed by lunch together until approx. 4pm) *Module 3 2-3 December 2023* Saturday 12:15-3:15pm & 4:45-7:45pm Sunday 10-12:45pm & 1:45-3:45pm *Module 4* *16-17 March 2024* Saturday 12:15-3:15pm & 4:45-7:45pm Sunday 10-12:45pm & 1:45-3:45pm *Module 5 12-14 April 2024* Friday 7-9:30pm Saturday 10:30am-1:30pm & 3-6pm Sunday 10:30am-2pm (followed by lunch together until approx. 4pm) *Module 6** 7-9 June 2024* Friday 7-9:30pm Saturday 10:30am-1:30pm & 3-6pm Sunday 10:30am-2pm (followed by lunch together until approx. 4pm) *Price:* 6 Modules with a total of 68,5 hours Sliding Scale – fair self assessment price according to individual income 830-1200 € Early Bird Price (with bank transfer until August 31) 930-1200 € Regular Price *monthly installments are an option *Registration&Info:* https://www.elskedance.de/events/63d2b5896ba0a900085ab985 *Place:* PHYNIXtanzt Berlin Hasenheide 54 10967 Berlin Kreuzberg Südsternhöfe 2.-3. back yard – 3. floor *Elske Seidel* based in Berlin, is a passionate movement researcher, CI dancer & teacher, deeply committed to CI and its community internationally.
