Contact Improvisation – Condensed Systematics

with Joerg Hassmann &amp, Daniel Werner

Hello contacters,
we are very excited to teach our material in the ‘holistic’ Ibiza 
environment – a residential workshop embeded in this heartful community, 
in the late summer warmth using the beach and a big studio. It is a 
little dream that we had for quite a while and now we manage to fill it 
with life.

Come and explore with us!
Joerg and Daniel

Workshop description:

In this 5-day Intensive we will give a condensed insight into our 
systematic approach to CI that we have developed throughout the last six 
years in our basic training programme in Berlin.

We use certain ideas of developmental movement patterns to find an 
adequate modulation of body tone and structural organization of the 
body. This will give a foundation for solo movement technique as well as 
for working with shared weight.

Several sessions will happen on the beach. In the transition from land 
to water we can minimize and increase the influence of gravity. 
Essential movement patterns and principles can be experienced and 
understood so much more clearly. In the studio we will intergrate this 
knowledge into CI technique in a way that also experienced dancers will 
find deeper insights into the assumed known.

Precise partner work, specific pathways and feedback will show ways to 
understand and overcome personal movement habits and limitations and 
will guide the way into a truly three dimensional dance. Our technical 
focus aims to feed the improvisational part of the dance by creating 
more choice.

Location:
The workshop takes places in „La Nave“ Studio. It is located at km 9.6 
of the road between two beautiful villages, Santa Gertrudis and San 
Miguel, half a kilometer from the main road and surrounded by 
forest. From the front yard you can see the church of San Miguel and the 
infinite horizon of the Mediterranean Sea.

The area is very quiet. The nearest village, San Miguel, is 5 km away, 
with the basic supplies (bank, pharmacy, supermarket, bar). Nearby, 
operates a farm that is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays (9-14 pm) where 
they grow and sell fruits and vegetables.
The public transportation in Ibiza, works very sparingly, so it is often 
advisable to procure for your own transport (car or motorbike hire) or 
hitchhiking (which is very common in these lands, and the people are 
very friendly.) Two mountain bikes are available in exchange for a 
donation for maintenance of the space.
The nearest beaches are the Port of San Miguel and Benirras, about 15 km 
fro Nave.
Nave facilities include internet, bathroom, shower and kitchen.

Transportation:
For your own mobility and since we will also work on the beach we 
recommend to rent a car.
A doodle group will be available, where you can coordinate car-sharing 
with other participants.
To find a cheap rental car these sites might be helpful:

or

You can also call them for advice (we have bad experience with Gold Car)!
A car will be about 80-100€/week, and about 230-280€ for 3 weeks (so if 
you share a car with 5 people it will be about € 20/ week or less. It 
worked out very easily on similar events).
