Contact improvisation and Tantra let us experience
the higher self, connection to the universe, the world, the others and
immediate authenticity in encounters. This training enriches your love
life and living in relationships.
Teachings include tantric meditation, kundalini yoga sadhana, contact
improvisation technique and skills from a tantric point of view, elements
of body work, and massage.
We focus on human encounter in dance. Tantric approaches to the world
allow us to experience classical basics of CI techniques (dealing and
playing with gravity, effect and use of weight, rolling point) in a new
way. The emotional, spiritual, and sensual aspects of dance become as
important as the physical aspect. In this way, we gain a new perspective
on the familiar language of contact improvisation. In meditation, we learn
how to deal with inner energies and inwardness. We feel and explore qualities
of touching and being touched as a key to a new experience of contact.
We learn tools of dance technique that support an Us in the dance. Beyond
the question of how I lift, roll, and fly, being present and in the moment
are more relevant for us.
Dancing thereby becomes a deep human experience and spiritual practice.
In this, we will explore, what it means to be aware of yourself and to
be with others. We will experience what it is like to listen to and sense
yourself and the others at the same time. How do closeness and distance
arise, not only externally but, mainly, internally?
What thoughts, affinities and aversions come up in my dance and how do
they influence my dance? What do I expect from my dance partner, consciously
or unconsciously? What happens when I instrumentalise the others and use
them to feel myself? What kind of experience takes place when I do not
want anything from my dance partner, and my dance partner does not want
anything from me? Can my dance evolve freely and dynamically without intention,
concept, or aim?
Am I able to say very clearly yes or no to a quality of touch or a dance?
Basic themes are dealing respectfully with myself and displaying responsibility
and empathy in dealing with others. I am invited to become aware of my
personal boundaries, limits, and taboos and to look at them affectionately.
I can preserve them, experiment with them, or outgrow them.
