Earth- and water - dance

Dance improvisation in nature

Back to English Navigation

These workshops, opened to everybody, invite you to a contact dance with nature: well rooted in the ground and in dialogue between your center and the center of the earth and those of your partners. We go on an inward journey where we will explore the resonance of our body landscapes in tune with the natural surroundings.

Next Workshop: "Skin Flowers" (Hautnah, June)
                                      Flyer

With Dance Improvisation, voice and movement we will travel through the systems at the origins of life and research its physical and psychic qualities. Alone and as a group, we will engage in a sensual and playful approach toward our environment, using our skin and senses as interfaces and spaces to meet. When we find ourselves ready to open, we can allow the dance to take us into subtle touches or perhaps wild waves.

Methods
Improvised dance: elements of Butoh, Authentic Movement, Instant Composition and Contact improvisation. There will be a big space for playfullness and creativity and also moments of sharings with the group.

The place: (pics see above)
Close to the "Sense river" near Guggisberg between Fribourg and Berne (Switzerland).  A little wooden house surrounded by nature with a big garden, a yurt, a terrace and a kitchen, will offer different sleeping possibilities (inside or on the tree, etc.). We will dance in the forest and close to the river and will also move in the yurt (about 2 hours per day, depending on the weather). Sleeping for 30.-per person. We will cook by ourselves. You can also sleep at home if you prefer. Please book well in advance, as the places are limited and as we need to confirm the place 2 weeks in advance.

The workshop is open to everybody who feels agile and well in nature and likes to improvise. You can access the place with bus and we can pick you at the bus station. Please announce the car sharing possibilities. 
The workshop will take place by any weather, as the yurt is heaten and it is also possible and even nice to dance with a few drops
