TIME: 15.30-17.30pm
WHERE: Travertijn 12 in Groningen

Come join us for a playful dance jam! Let’s explore movement in relation to others, the floor, and the space. Each session will start with a guided warm-up in which we tune in with the basic principles of CI; sharing weight, touch and body awareness. Every Body is welcome, no matter how much experience you have.

The warm-up will be done by one of the organizers: Anneroos, Jorien & Otto.

WHAT TO BRING:
– Clothes that are easy to dance and move in
– A bottle of water is handy; there will be water/tea/snacks but maybe you want a bit more
– Take off things like bracelets, necklaces, belts with hard (metal) points, because you can hurt yourself or others with it if you roll over someone

NOTE: You can eat at the Free Café afterwards in the same building, enjoy food cooked by volunteers for free or a donation. Opens at 18.00.

CI Labs
by Jorien van Dam

Let’s bring together our research questions to explore movement in relation to Self, Others, and Space, with the aim to deepen our embodied understanding of this ever-moving Life.

This is a community-based practice which means we co-create the sessions together. We use a general framework to structure the class, with free space to bring in our research topics.
• Guided warm up: landing into the body
• Opening circle: check – in + collecting research questions
• Practice time
• Evaluation cirlce: harvesting insights
• Closing jam
The moves we make on the dance floor surely inform us about the way we move in our daily encounters. Ready to go on discovery?
Next date: Thursday March 21, Thursday April 4
Guided by: Jorien & Otto
For whom
: Anyone curious to explore concepts. Basic c.i. dance experience is helpful
Price: 7,50 (normal) or 5 euro (low income)
