CI Essentials_Taiji Tao & Qigong / Play-Fight / Dance Improvisation with Sarah Tulivu, Chiara Zompa, Samuel Nicola Fuscà
DESCRIPTION
5 days of community living.
From inner awareness to creating together.
We will start by inquiring about our inner state of body-mind through a daily session of Taiji/Qi Gong and meditation. From this state of deep listening, we will integrate the principles of interconnection through the confrontational and playful dynamics of Play-Fight practice and the potential for creative and collaborative expression by exploring tools of Dance Improvisation.

DESCRIPTION
Gravity.
For me it has always been a mysterious word, and one very often used when talking about Contact
Improvisation.
I imagine it as rain, falling constantly over a dance that is taking place.
I connect it to the idea of weight, of how to give and receive it.
I connect it to the unexpected, to what happens when we are immersed in the many stimuli and distractions
that cover any dance.
I connect it to resilience: how to continue to dance under a rain of gravity?
In this workshop I would like to make space for gravity – as the weight of the body, like grounding, as the
joyful chaos of being in contact in a duet.
LINDA BUFALI BIO
While I was trying to study acting, in 1998, l bumped into…and against this “weird dance”. After a few years I realized I was still there, sweating, falling, laughing, and feeling. So I decided to go deeper
into it, entering the phantasmagorical world of workshops and festivals, bumping into and against strange
teachers who helped me sweating, falling , laughing and feeling even better.
I’d give anything to forget all that so to start again, off for the journey again! But it’s not possible!
Since 2008, I have been teaching in Italy (intensive workshops in many communities and Italy Contact
Festival ’15), abroad (intensive workshop in Madrid, Lleida, Alcoi, Colon, Basque Country, Amsterdam,
Israeli Contact Festival ’16, Dancefullnes Ukraine ’16) and I have been organizing events to help Contact
Improvisation spread as much as possible (I am one of the founders of the Italy CI Camp).
It’s a bit as to make the journey from the start, knowing the path but taking different luggage with you; and
always hoping to bump into/against something interesting.
I see contact dance as the best way I have in this lifetime to meet someone outside the social contract and to
keep my drive for movement alive.
Life is movement, moving in pairs accelerates awareness.
I deeply believe that contact improvisation is potential, a big, healthy revolution.

Trio of Teachers in their 50’s / workshop of Contact Improvisation and Somatic Technics with Mario Ghezzi, Michele Marchesani, and Lior Ophir
DESCRIZIONE
A concludere un mese ricco di ricerca, danza e formazione in arrivo l’ultimo workshop della Summer Edition; è arrivato il momento di un Trio di insegnanti di tutto di rispetto!
Mario Ghezzi:
“L’attenzione nel contatto fisico. Dal tocco alla Contact”
Michele Marchesani:
“Il ruolo della fascia nella connessione con il partner”
Lior Ophir:
“Contact practice for long life”
Cosa li accomuna? :
sono uomini gentili, hanno una traiettoria significativa di insegnamento alle loro spalle e più di tutto sono nei loro 50’s (come la contact)!
Un occassione speciale per incontrare tre danzatori e insegnanti che mescolano ricerca somatica, danza e improvvisazione in un mix tutto da scoprire!
COME FUNZIONA
Un weekend di lezioni all’insegna dell’integrazione. Ogni proposta verrà elaborata dagli insegnanti secondo la loro prospettiva nell’ottica dello scambio e arricchimento reciproco.
Sarà come il gioco della staffetta in cui si passa il testimone della conduzione così da poter arricchire/allungare/ribaltare la prospettiva offerta su una tematica specifica.
