K.J. HOLMES in Italy Intensive Workshop and New Year's Eve Jam

2008-11-11T12:57:01Z

Caravajal15 residenza dinamica
Orvieto/Italy

Intensive Workshop with K.J. Holmes and New Year's Eve Jam ...

27 December 2008 – 3 January 2009
Improvisation: Performance as Exposure
Intensive Workshop
with
K.J. HOLMES
Improvisation: Performance as Exposure
The training of Contact Improvisation is a physical practice that includes increasing range of motion, awakening awareness and clarifying intention. We learn through kinetic feedback with another as well as through exploring different patterns of movement and how all of our senses lead us into dancing. Touch is not enough. Preparing to perform requires more than awareness, it asks us to be seen and to see. In this workshop, we will focus on meeting truthfully and directly the unexpected. Contact Improvisation will be our entrance into the physicality of our images and applications of Body Mind Centering (r) will fine tune us to the mechanics of our instruments - our bodies. Weight, mass and breath become movement, become landscape, become story, become question, become idea. We will play with heightening our senses and perceptions, amplifying our awareness to expose more of our interior, making the invisible visible to play with time and space. Witnessing, reading, writing and the voice will be used to further engage and enliven our imaginations and for discovering new challenges and risks. How do we ready ourselves for performing and who is the being in the body? The workshop is accompanied by live music of Italian guest musician Roberto Bellatalla (double bass and other).

K.J. Holmes is an independent dance artist based in Brooklyn NY who has been exploring improvisation as process and performance since 1981. She teaches, choreographs and performs at festivals, universities and venues throughout the world, as a soloist and in her collaborations with artists such as Simone Forti, Image Lab (Lisa Nelson, Karen Nelson and Scott Smith) and in the work of Steve Paxton. Her influences include Contact Improvisation, Body-Mind Centering (r), Yoga (certified teacher 2007), Authentic movement, Ideokinesis, Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques, Martial Dance, world vocal studies and contemporary dance and theater. A 1999 graduate of the School for Body-Mind Centering, K.J. is adjunct faculty at New York University Experimental Theater Wing/ongoing teacher Movement Research NYC/has a private practice in Dynamic Alignment and Re-integration/and is currently studying Sanford Meisner acting technique at the William Esper Studio in NYC as well as developing an evening length piece entitled This is where we are (or take arms against a sea of troubles) which looks at where the body and language meet.

Camp CONTACT at Burning Man!

2008-07-15T15:18:07Z

Registration for Camp CONTACT at Burning Man 2008 is now open!

Contact Camp has been a fixture on the playa for the past three years, and we're bringing it back in style for 2008. We've got some new infrastructure, a distributed leadership team, and a new on-line registration system. We plan to better coordinate work party participation and work shift participation prior to the event so that we're not spending valuable time on the playa figuring it all out.

Camp CONTACT will host 80-100 Contact Improvisators for the ten days spanning Saturday, August 23rd to Monday, Sept 1st. We'll start off by building a kitchen, a common area and the dance spaces. We'll also have shade structures to keep your tent cool, with the possibility of other amenities. We come to the playa to offer the gift of Contact Improvisation. Mornings, we'll be able to jam in Burning Man's Center Camp; afternoons, we can teach or take beginners and advanced classes. Each evening we will share in community meals and then glow in all that Black Rock City has to offer at night, including some of our own jams.

If you're into Contact, and up for the adventure of a lifetime, check us out! If you've camped with us before, we welcome you back.

More details, commitment requirements, and on-line registration are available on our website at http://campcontact.org/burningcontact

Questions? Email me at burningcontact@gmail.com

Yours in Contact,

WEBSITE: www.contactfestival.it

Zipfest is a lively kermis with internationally famous guest artists invited to the Umbrian residence from various countries to collaborate in the creative production of events, promoting the identification of a trans-cultural art. The festival is an event of art and culture speaking the language of today, questioning itself on the processes or artistic interaction, creating contacts and occasions for cooperation among the guest artists, who bare their experience, affinities and cultural and generational differences in Orvieto, to create the festival together.

International scene 2008
Nita Little (www.nitalittle. com), American pioneer of Contact Improvisation, an internationally acclaimed artist, invited to Italy for the first time in April in the residenza dinamica of Palazzo Caravajal, for the project Restless Peace, and once more present in June as part of the Zipfest guest artists. Keith Hennessy, a Canadian performer with countless awards, for the first time in Italy, will present an interesting workshop in which improvisation dance, performance and shamanism will be put in relation to each other. Giorgio Convertito, an eclectic Italian dancer who has been living in Helsinki for six years, and is today an artist on the Finnish scene, Jacky Miredin the virtuoso French performer previously invited to Zipfest07 and the young Italian choreographer Sara Simeoni, currently dancing with Carolyn Carlson. The artistic director of the festival, Rossella Fiumi, takes part with her installation titled I'm All Ears, a forum on the theme of listening and communication in contemporary creativity.Jens Biedermann, a Swiss acrobatic dancer and accordion player, Adalisa Menghini, Italian choreographer who has been living in Berlin for years, Alessia Scala a young Neapolitan dancer, Isabelle Uski, Contact improviser from Grenoble, Gionatan Surrenti Italian dancer, improvisor and pedagogue, previously invited to several Zipfest editions, Yanaël Plumet French performer and traveler currently living in Istanbul, the musician and performer Michele Rabbia virtuoso percussionist invited to the preceding editions of the festival and particularly beloved by the Zip public, Marko Timlin Finnish sound artist proposing new modes in the field of electronic sound, composing and improvising on solar panels and Barnaby O'Rorke Tree, a versatile Scotch performer, improviser-cellist, composer and vocalist.

21-22 June White Night Jam-Contact day
Inauguration- meeting point Residenza dinamica of Palazzo Caravajal, headquarters of the international Summer Solstice Jam, at 9 p.m. on 21 June, throughout the sleepless summer night up to 10 p.m. on 22 June, in the studios-houses- ateliers of artists-cultural- associations- creative- persons-columnis ts-others who work-look for a Contemporary idiom in Orvieto.

24-28 June Performances, concerts, forum
One of the most eagerly awaited events in Zipfest calendar, the improvisation performances: instant compositions, proposed then and here by the guest artists, in a type of performance called Real Time Composition.

Heart-felt curves
It is a great honor to present and pay homage to Luigi Mario, known also as Engaku Taino, a Zen master who has been living in the hinterland of Orvieto for many years. He is a fascinating figure with proficiencies and preparation of alpine skiing and rock climbing, as well as a Tai Chi Chuan guru, but above all a person to meet and know to practice meditation. Luigi Mario has been invited to the festival for two reasons: the first is to lead, aided by assistants, a free climbing session on the rocks of Ferentillo, a splendid zone in Umbria-Valnerina, on June 23rd. It is a unique occasion for those who practice Contact as well as others, because it gives one a chance to find out what it's like trying one's hand at a height of 30 meters, using one's strength, resistance, balance, gravity, weight, feeling of the void, and any number of other emotions to explore. The second reason is purely contemplative: three meetings of Tai Chi Chuan and meditation.

much thanks,

BC Fire Spinning / Flow Arts Gathering / Festival?

2007-04-04T17:28:47Z

BC Fire Spinning / Flow Arts Gathering / Festival?

I'm just wondering if there is any interest in having a first spinning / flow arts gathering/festival in BC this summer. I wouldn't mind organizing such a thing, but I'm not ready to take on something like that alone, nor would I want to if I were capable.

I'm imagining a friday night to sunday afternoon set up. Camping in a beautiful natural setting with open spaces, burn barrels, a fire pit, music and freaky peeps. We could go super low-tech and tribal by only having acoustic instruments or we could find some djs, a power hook up and some equipment, but that would bring up the cost... unless someone wanted to donate.

Workshops in the afternoon could be organized, with a mix of different mediums, different level classes and jams, aswell as any fun and/or important non-flow related things. Then the fires could fill the space all night with magic and music. : )

A site, wood, a fuel station, welcoming people, safeties, ceremony, tickets, promotion and workshops could be organized with a fair amount of work. Food, sitting areas, safe/sacred/healing space, large shade structure(s!), and music would be wonderful to have, but right now seem secondary, but may change depending on how much energy people have.

First off, if this could happen this summer, would anyone be interested in going? Please share your thoughts and opinions.

Then, is there anyone that has time or energy that they would be willing to put into this project?

with many blessings,
Alex

Thursday Nite Jam's @ the Office (Gastown, Vancouver)

I haven't made it over but want to hear what they're like. Jams in general are mildly terrifying for me to enter into so i am wondering what people's take is on what they've experienced there. I consider myself just a step beyond a beginner at contact and needing to do it way more often.
