CLASSES/WORKSHOPS in INDIA & BERLIN
This Sunday, 10:30-13:00 @ Magic Park, Arambol, Goa
Contact Improvisation Workshop
*Remembering we what we once knew*
In this workshop we will investigate the fundamentals of contact improvisation (weight sensing, establishing trust with a partner, counterbalance, giving/receiving weight, rolling point, playfulness) and how they relate to our early experiences in movement, body organization, and relating to one another. As children we were already practicing many of the basics of CI. learning CI, can therefore be a process of remembering rather than learing anew!
All levels and abilities are invited to participate!
Cost: 300 INR
I look forward to dancing with you!

“Jede Bewegung hat etwas mit Beziehung zu tun” - Beziehung zu sich selbst, der äußeren Welt oder Anderen (Peggy Hackney).CI kann uns zur Klarheit mit uns selbst (unserem Zentrum und unserer Intention) sowie mit Anderen führen.
In dem 8-wöchigen Kurs erfahren wir spielerisch die Grundlagen der CI, dazu gehören auch das Gewicht spüren/wahrnehmen, mit Gegengewicht tanzen, Vertrauen gewinnen, Gewicht geben/nehmen, Rolling Point, u.a. Ferner gehen wir auf die menschliche Körperorganisation und Entwicklung ein. Da wir am Anfang unseres Lebens bereits viele Grundlagen von CI nutzen, knüpfe ich im Unterricht an vorhandene Alltagserfahrungen an.
Liz Erber: Ich habe fast 15 Jahre
Erfahrung als CI Lehrerin und schätze ich jede Möglichkeit meinen Leidenschaft
für Tanz und CI mit Anderen mitzuteilen. Unterrichten vertieft auch meinen
Verständnis den menschlichen Körper. Ich erhielt Bachelors in Tanz, Theater,
Chemie/Biologie und bin ausgebildet als Tanz und somatische Pädagogin mit eine
Hintergrund in Laban/Bartenieff Bewegungsstudien, verschiedene “Release” und
somatische Techniken, Bewegungsanalyse, u.a. Zudem bin ich als
Performerin, Choreographin und Bewegungscoach beschäftig.
Andrew Wass has been investigating CI for 20 years. He approaches CI from a compositional angle, looking to balance to intentional with the accidental. He has a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry, and MA from the HZT in Solo/Dance/Authorship. Currently he is investigating improvisation through the lenses of phenomenology and mathematics. He is a member of the Lower Left Performance Collective. Past teaching posts include the Tokyo Contact Festival, Tanzfabrik's Performance Intensive, Freiburg CI festival, SFADI, WCCIF and others. He has performed with Scott Wells, Jess Curtis, Ray Chung, Nina Martin, and Nancy Stark Smith, u.a.

“All Movement is relational” - in
relation to ourselves, the outside world or others (Peggy Hackney).
The practice of CI can teach us
how to connect more clearly to ourselves (to our centers and our intentions),
the earth and others. And - it is fun and playful!
During this 8-week course we will
cover the basics of contact - weight sensing, establishing trust,
counterbalance, giving/receiving weight, rolling point, etc. - as well as, the
basics of human movement and development. We will consider whole-body
coordination and the way in which we grew and developed in “contact" with
others. Most of us were naturally practicing and playing with elements of CI as
we grew, so I believe learning CI is more about remembering early ways of
moving and interacting, rather than learning anew.
Having taught CI for nearly 15
years, I am grateful for every opportunity to share my love of dance and CI
with others while also deepening my understanding of the human body and human
interaction. I hold degrees in dance, theater and chemistry/biology, and have a
background in somatic education, Laban/Bartenieff studies, various release
techniques, and movement analysis.

Language/Sprache: English/Deutsch
These 6-week series are ideal for those who have had an introduction to the basics of
contact improvisation and who are somewhat familiar with rolling point,
counterbalance and giving-taking weight. We will continue to work with these
basic concepts while focusing on finding the flow in our dance and within our
individual bodies. Full-body integration/somatics are a part of every class.
Breath work and a focus of movement into/out/through the center provide a
foundation for individual movement alone and with a partner. These classes aim
to build sharper contact improvisation skills and increased body awareness.

Contact Improvisation meets Applied Improvisation
AIN - Applied Improvisation Network International Conference
http://www.ainconference.org/schedule-2/#learning2
www.ainconference.org
Contact Improvisation (CI) is a contemporary dance and improvisation form which arose in the early 1970s in the United States. It embodied many of the more revolutionary ideas that were emerging at this time: gender and racial equality, rejection of traditional gender roles, non-hierarchical communication and interaction, the breaking down of traditional physical boundaries, sharing, and being present to what each moment offers. The dance typically involves physical contact between two or more bodies, and gives particular emphasis to “trust” and “listening”. There is no leader or follower, although dancers may play fluidly with these roles. Dancers often fall in towards one another while moving, so that the point of contact is always shifting (rolling point of contact). Together they share a common center-of-gravity.
Because CI is a physical form involving touch, it is important to pay attention and to honor one’s own feelings, limits and boundaries. It is often said that CI has no rules. If there would be but one rule, it would be “take care of yourself and your well-being.”
Like other forms of improvisation, CI can teach us many valuable lessons around communication, leadership and resilience.

Gaging Effort: From deep release to the power we desire
Learning to let go - to release our full weight into the floor, or into a partner's body, can be one of the most challenging lessons of contact. Being able to let go, in conjunction with moments of effort or strength, enables us to work with the weight of the body and the power that it holds. We find momentum, deeper connection with another, almost effortlessly falls in and our of the floor, and the possibility of flying!
One of the first steps to finding deep release is to notice our habits: when we want to hold or take control. In this class we start by working with passive weight and movement ( i.e. being moved by a partner), giving us the chance to find full release and to notice when and where we hold. On the flip side of this, is the practice of working with the full weight of our partner. Through the course of the class we gradually increase our output of effort until we reach 100 percent. At this point we can gage how much effort or strength we want to work with. We will ask ourselves the questions: How much effort is required for a movement? How can I use my weight passively and actively in contact - in order to create connection, momentum, movement?

March 3rd:
The Expanding Universe: from our Core to Outer Space
Price: 13€ incl. Jam, Students 10€
All Levels
Our center is where it all started for us. As small babies we are initially organized around our naval center; one of our first movement patterns being that of radial expansion--expansion from the center out through our six limbs, and then the opposite movement of coming back into our center.
Even as we continue to develop and grow into adults, "naval radiation" remains an important underlying pattern of movement for us. Through naval radiation we connect easily to our central core and our breath, while also connecting out to the space around us and the spacial limits of our own body, our extremities.
In contact improvisation, the pattern of naval radiation abounds and helps us in a multitude of ways: concentrating our weight through our center into our partner's center; helping us to balance; opening up the space around us; creating more surfaces which our partner can use for dancing, his/her own balance, or as levers for initiating movement; bringing tone into the body and allowing for connection to any extremity to be a connection into the core.
In this class we physically familiarize/ re-familiarize ourselves with the pattern of radial expansion. We then spend time connecting from our center to our partner's center, and will explore the possibilities of expansion from our center, as well as pulling into our core and wrapping with the limbs. We will also work with connecting at the extremities as a way into the core. During the course of the class we will explore balance points and a few lifts.
March 17th:
SPINAL BLISS: from Head to Tail
Price: 13€ incl. Jam, Students 10€
All levels
The spine, with its great variety of movement possibilities, is inherently playful by nature. In this course we re-discover our spine and the multitude of ways it can move us and be moved. We will spend time with the tail, discovering its autonomy as well as its connections; with the head - finding its autonomy as well as its release; and the full spine. We will allow the spine to reach, see and guide us into playful contact dances.

| an embodied historical survey of contemporary dance and movement |
During these 5 classes we will dance, improvise, create, and observe ourselves in movement, as well as, others. The origins of various contemporary dance and body practices will be introduced, practiced and applied. Primary influences include: various modern & contemporary dance techniques, Bartenieff Fundamentals, LMA-Laban Movement Analysis, contact improvisation, Skinner Releasing, Authentic Movement, BMC, Capoeira, Viewpoints, as well as other improvisational and somatic practices. One of the primary aims of these classes is the development of body-based listening and understanding - being present with the body's actions, movements and needs. In addition we will explore inner-connectivity and will seek to find the most effective and easiest pathways of movement. With these goals in mind we will practice standard contemporary dance techniques, learn phrases, improvise and create.

Exploring Elements of Identity Using Augusto Boal's Games and Forum Theater
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
ENGLISH THEATRE BERLIN - MAINSTAGE
ENGLISH THEATRE BERLIN - MAINSTAGE
How do we define ourselves? What is our identity, or multiple identities? Are they fixed or fluid? Do they matter? How do they affect our lives in ways that we desire or don't desire? Do we play with them or play against them? This is a workshop that begins with Augusto Boal based games -- a number of which involve questions of identity and how we define ourselves. The games also help to create a playful, open environment, where sharing is encouraged. During the second half of the workshop participants define issues --particularly identity issues-- which they are facing or have faced. We will select several of these issues and then collect in groups around the selected issues. From here we create the Forum Theater. Each group will create a play/ performance featuring a protagonist that is confronted with the particular issue. Afterwards the observers, or SPECT-ACTORS, will discuss the issue. The performing group then shows their piece again, but this time any of the Spect-actors can say "stop" and jump in for the protagonist, offering a different way of dealing with the issue.
ALL WORKSHOPS REQUIRE PRIOR REGISTRATION.

INTRODUCTION TO CONTACT IMPROVISATION
SATURDAY, FEB. 16
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
ETB (English Theatre Berlin) - Mainstage
Contact Improv, or CI, is a form of movement improvisation developed in the early 1970s involving shared weight and a rolling point of contact between two people, which enables the bodies to flow through space while lifting, falling, rolling and flying. In this intro workshop, we will learn about taking and receiving another's weight, counter-balance, how to move while "listening" and staying in contact with your partner, and the joy of improvisation - accepting the "now". We will work with partners but also together, moving as a group. No dance experience necessary and all levels of ability/dis-ability are welcome. Great for actors! Here is a video which will give you a better idea of what the form looks like:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql0ISYdCypQ

Moving into Writing - Writing into Moving
Facilitated by Liz Erber
4-week series: July 12th - Aug 2nd, 2010 Mon. 6-8pm
Cost: 32 euro/ 8 euro per class
10 person limit, please register as soon as possible
This course is designed for all levels. No dance or writing experience necessary, simply the desire to move and put pen to paper. All styles of writing welcome!
In this series we will create an intimate and safe space for the exploration of body/movement, writing and the intersection of the two. Each session will begin with a physical warm-up as well as a writing warm-up. We will use body explorations derived from anatomy, imagery and developmental patterns of movement as a jumping off point for our writing. From our writing we return to body/movement, and back and forth. We will work individually, in partners and sometimes share our work in unique scores involving reading, movement and writing. Course structure is flexible so as to fit to the needs and interests of the group.
Be prepared to look inside yourself! Many of the explorations involve tuning into our own bodies, awakening to sensations new and old. Our bodies contain a wealth of memory, images, poems, stories, narratives...we will tap into these.
The structures we will explore are great for developing: body-awareness, a unique voice, writing, performance work, choreography. We will work in a diversity of ways so that we have the chance to explore different ways of working and sourcing our voice.

We begin each class with a physical warm-up that draws from Bartenieff Fundementals (developmental patterns of movement), Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) and various releasing and improvisational techniques. The warm-up is designed to engage the breath and the full body, as well as connect our inner and outer worlds, so that our movement and thoughts become more fully integrated/ connected. By freeing and opening the channels in our body, we awaken our senses and our keen sense of perception, thus making us more available to experience the moment and the sensations/thoughts that naturally arise. It is from this place that we explore, dance, write, make discoveries, and enter into the creative realm where the imagination is free to wander unhindered.
Writing wise we will engage in short free-writes, observational writes of ourselves and others, and other writing that parallels our movement practice (i.e. working with rhythm and the sound of our words.) One of my primary focuses in the class is the experience of sensation; firstly perceiving the sensation in our bodies and then, secondly bringing the experience of the sensation to words. We may start with describing a sensation in a concrete physical way, however our experience of a sensation is often much more complex; feelings or emotions may arise, an image or story could come to mind, or a memory could be awakened.
There is the possibility to take the writing in many different directions. For example, we could work with character/voice, move more towards poetic forms or stick to very free form writing. How I lead or shape the class is dependent on the interests and motivations of those involved. In general, we will put little focus or weight on final product. During our two hours together, my hope is to engage the imagination and to get us moving and writing. I want to avoid qualifying what we do as good or bad, and move away from the self-editors that we are all accustomed to living with. My hope is that you come away inspired to write and dance more.
