For everybody, who has experience in Contact
Improvisation (CI) and meditation/Tantra.
We experience and activate the space of the heart, the space of pelvis
and our intuitive as well as spiritual potentials and abilities. You
learn Kashmiri tantric massage. Direct out of the massage we will find
into a dance. Tantric breath and energy circles will be practised.
We get sensitive and feel the subtle sensations,
emotions and energies in our bodies as well as our physical bodies in
dancing a solo, a duo or dancing in a group . Extensive dance in the
space and rather acrobatic elements of CI alternate with sensing the
inner stream and energies in the body! We listen to ourselves, each
other and listen to the dynamic and organic music of our dance.
With his sounds Günter Touschek creates a magical space, in which
we meet each other in dancing. With his live music he is in a dialogue
with the participants/dancers and the participants/dancers with him.
These sounds are supporting us to expand into the space and experience
our actual dimension, which is divine.
We practise dance and touch as meditation, which facilitates transpersonal
and spiritual experiences.
The base of meeting, encoutering is: To sense yourself, to sense your
physical body and the subtle emotions and energies inside, to be aware
of your personal boundaries, limits and taboos. In each moment you decide
whether you respect them in a loving way or experiment with them or
transcend them.
For fully surrendering in a dance, a meeting, you have to be sure that
your limits are respected by the other(s). The workshop situation itsself
provides a safe space, but it's very important, to let your dance partner
know, what feels fine for you and what goes beyond your limits. If there
is something in the touch or the dance, which you don't want in that
moment, you let your dance partner know in a way that doesn't hurt.
That's a good base for fully giving yourself to the dance, the meetings
in the dance, a base for being open for surprises and amazement instead
of planing anything in the dance.
To go to a place, where both of us, don't know what will happen; that's
a description of a CI duo at its best , a duo, in which I might have
transpersonal experiences.
None of the heteronormativity of classical
Tantra!
You are welcome alone or together with
your partner/s.
The workshop will be held in German and English.
