TOOLS FOR COMMUNICATION,
INTERACTION & CREATION IN THE
PRESENT
Unfolding a
territory for research, creation and
cooperation as fertile ground for
generating a reflection on dance making,
we deploy a space of encounter taking a
new perspective on the dancing body and
it’s interrelationships, from an
individual and a collective experience.
The Tools offered
cultivate different modes of attention
within the perceptual / sensorial /
visual / kinesthetic mindbody to be
shared in a compositional space. The
co-creation in the present time takes
place and reveals a diversity of
possible and potential relationships. It
allows a study of the senses and their
role in the organization of the bodies
in movement, making us aware of how our
own dance, the group and the environment
are affected, informed and transformed
according to the choices we make.
Creating bridges
and opening doors as pathways to access
and to make available our bodies and its
senses, we will nourish our dances.
CONTENT
CI
We will plunge
into it’s principles: the reflexive
body, spherical space, qualities of
touch, diversifying the mosaic of
sensations, shared weight, modulation of
tone, deep listening, availability,
readyness, risk taking and
response-ability.
IMPROVISATION
We will explore
its specific relation to Time: unison,
synchronicity, delay, etc.
We will attend to
its specific relation to Space:
environment, architecture, materiality,
immateriality…
We will
strengthen our solo dance.
We will develop
our capacity to collaborate and
co-create within a group.
COMPOSITION
We will play with
sensing/feeling/observing the
organization of our senses, of the inner
and outer space, as well as the emerging
and evolving interrelationships that
will reveal.
We will expand
our ability of seeing with the eyes,
seeing with the body and other ways of
seeing.
We will
compose/take position with our bodies,
the material and the physical space.
With and through
these three lenses we will dance, watch,
report, write and draw considering all
these activities as ways to share our
imaginaries, experiences and research.
We will be working with a
fixed group and we will keep few spots
available in each module for those that
could join for 1 or 2 modules only,
depending on the committed group size.
This
training requires some experience in
CI and Improvisation combined with the
desire to enter into compositional
work. Please send us a short bio.

Daniela Schwartz (FR/RA)
Nomadic artist, involved in
the practice, performance and teaching
of Contact Improvisation and
Improvisation since 1998.
In Alsace, her
base of action, she is a member of Co.
Dégadézo since 2005.

d'Azur, France 2019.
With a focus on the ecosomatic
practices as multidirectional
movements in the present moment and as
material for research, thought and
creation, my main interests are the
complexity of the interrelational
dialogues and the virtuosity of
attention and imagination anchored in
the physical experience.
Eckhard Müller (GER/FR)
Performer and teacher for
Contact Improvisation &
Improvisation, co-founder of the
contactfestival freiburg and the dance
company Dégadézo in Strasbourg.
Further areas of experience in somatics,
contemporary movement techniques,
acrobatics and yoga.
I am teaching CI
and Improvisation since the early 90ies
worldwide. These techniques are also the
foundation for SKIN Interactive
Performance Concept project, that I have
realized in many cities all over South
America and Europe with my partner Dani.
My
main objective is to find to a mutual
communication with our partners. In my
lessons I try to awaken a playful
approach to our bodies in motion, the
associated physical forces and touch.
In general, I am interested in
freedom, lightness and flow in the
meeting with our partner and the
group.
