We
focus on human encounter in dance. Tantric approaches to the world allow
us to experience classical basics of Contact Improvisation (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.
Extensive dance in the space and rather acrobatic elements of CI alternate
with sensing the inner stream and energies in the body!
In meditation, we learn how to deal with inner energies and inwardness.
We sense and activate the space of the heart, the pelvis and our intuitive
and spiritual abilities.
We deepen our exploration of qualities of touching and getting touched
as a key to 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?
Which kind of contact takes place, if 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.
You experience on this weekend:
* Being more aware of yourself, your own body and of others.
*
Expanding of your potential to react unprejudiced and in many ways in different situations.
* Tandava – mystic dance meditation
* Tantriic breathing techniques and directing of energy in the body
*Contacti improvisation techniques

FEEDBACK TO CONTACT IMPROVISATION &
TANTRA:
"Hi Sabine
How are you?
I'm writing to tell you that this experience with contact and tantra was
very very important and beautiful for me, and changing my life. Also the
dance, but mainly the work with chakra and breath.
For sure I'll participate to other workshops, please continue to informing
me".
C. (female, 28 years old, 2014)
"WONDERFUL merveilleux
WUNDERBAR
SABINE thank U so much for BEING WHO YOU ARE !
Merci d~être qui vous êtes !
eyes CLOSED OPEN Chakras is the way to meet and enjoy share warmth,
tenderness, comfort, energy and pleasure from one another
isn't it amazing? black, chinese, white, elderly, youngster, women,
men and transgender...
From my point of view, CASTRATION is the main trigger for wars, slavery,
submission and self destruction
The highest value in our western education, but not only; see the damage
in so called traditional cultures !
The way you simply gently skillfully with subtlety and authenticity
make it happen for all of us; joy in sensual~ SEXUAL experiencing of
our mutual unspoken humanity.
HOW I WISH YOU COULD TEACH CHILDREN or ELSE SAVE THEM from the brutality
of education that mostly deprive them from their creativity, self confidence,
spontaneity, ability to love and create.
I DO HOPE you get much from all of us.
Take care keep well be happy
Hopefully see you soon, B."

"vielen dank noch mal für deine unglaublich
berührende art. ich hab das gefühl einer meiner wichtigen
lebenslehrerinnen in dir begegnet zu sein:)
danke für deine achtsamkeit!"

"Nachträglich möchte ich dir noch
sagen, dass es mir sehr gut gefallen hat, es war sehr aufregend und
auch schön für mich. Zeitweise habe ich über die Räume,
die sich geöffnet haben, nur so gestaunt oder mich wir ein kleines
Kind gefreut".
M., (männlich, 40 J., Juli 2013)
"Liebe Sabine, wow, danke Sabine für
den wunderbaren Workshop und die vielen Impressionen und wunderbaren
Sequenzen, die mir als Bilder im Kopf bleiben. Ich hatte ganz wunderbare
Tänze.
Das, was ich als Essenz des harmonischen Zusammenspiels von Tanz und
Tantra mitnehme ist, dass Beziehung und Partnerschaft, sowie allgemein
unsere Kontakte lebendig sind, solange sie dynamisch sind und Bewegung
stattfindet. Beziehung hat mit Loslassen zu tun, weg von der Idee zu
kommen, dass Beziehung etwas mit Festhalten und Beständigkeit zu
tun hat, mit Sicherheit und dem Wissen, was als Nächstes zu sein
hat. Beziehung bedeutet als Partner Konstrukt immer wieder bereit zu
sein, sich dem Impuls des Jetzt hinzugeben, das Vertrauen zu haben,
dass es weitergeht, in welcher Form auch immer, sich mit Neugier dem
Jetzt hinzugeben, den Gefühlen, Bewegungen, Energien, die uns und
den Raum durchfluten, uns vom gemeinsamen Atem und vom Licht, das uns
durchströmt, tragen zu lassen. Neue Form und lebendige Verbindung
entsteht immer aus der Präsenz und aus der Bewegung heraus. Der
Kontakt ist dann stark und beständig, wenn er sich dem Unbeständigem
hingibt. Bewegung ist Liebe. Bewegung ist Leben."

"bist eine Meisterin".

"Liebe Sabine,
danke nochmal für das schöne Seminar und Deine einfühlende
Anleitung.
So konnte die ganze Freude am Contact wieder in mir erwachen. (...)
Alle meine Energien sind wieder da. Tiefen Dank dafür. Die letzte
Zeit war ich sehr ausgelaugt und irgendwie resigniert. Beruflich bewegt
sich gerade sehr wenig. Also war das Wochenende genau richtig. Ich bin
froh daß ich es noch geschafft habe, zu kommen.
Take care, best vibes, Bliss und Namasté, A."
A. (männlich, 49 Jahre, 2015)
"Liebe Sabine,Vielen Dank
für das schöne Seminar, ich fühle mich zur Zeit sehr
weich und offen und hoffe, dass es ein wenig so bleibt. :)"
(D., weiblich, 30 J., 2013)
"Liebe Sabine,
grosser Dank an Dich und an Christian für dieses für mich
wirklich "berührende Wochenende"
Berührend für mich das Erwecken meiner tiefen sensiblen Erinnerungen.
Mein Kind hat all die Sehnsüchte gespürt und konnte lebendig
werden. Ich konnte mit meinen Augen sehen und mich berühren lassen
und wurden berührt. All die Sehnsucht und all die inspirierenden
Bewegungen haben tief in mir eine Öffnung gefunden.
Meine Freude und meine freie kindliche Entfaltung zu erleben und all
die Lust zu spüren, die keine Begrenzung kannte und dadurch so
natürlich und einfühlsam wurde, all das war wie großer
Strom der Emotionen fühlbar.
In all meiner Bewegung konnte ich den Ort meiner Ruhe, den Ort meines
Schmerzes, meiner Bewegungslosigkeit all meiner Gefühle gleichzeitig
und intensiv wahrnehmen.
Großer Dank und ich bin mir sicher wir werden uns wiedersehen.
Liebe Grüße, S. "
