Elske Seidel Contact Jahresgruppe Berlin

About this event

Contact Jahresgruppe Berlin is a year-long Contact Improvisation training led by Elske Seidel, offered in six weekend modules from September 2026 to June 2027 at PHYNIXtanzt Berlin. The programme is for movers with a solid CI foundation who want to deepen their practice within a consistent group over time — 72 hours of training in total, concluding with a certificate. Each module explores a distinct theme through technically focused work in solo movement and partnering: • Module 1 (Sep 11–13, 2026): Fascial Communication — touch quality, skin-to-skin dialogue, fascia as sensory organ • Module 2 (Oct 9–11, 2026): Structure & Moving Alignment — bones, tensegrity, skeletal support in motion • Module 3 (Nov 6–8, 2026): Spirals in Spherical Space — spiral organisation through all planes and levels • Module 4 (Mar 12–14, 2027): Falling, Flow & Flying — landing, rising, momentum, tone adaptation in dynamics • Module 5 (Apr 23–25, 2027): Between Orientation & Not-Knowing — states of relaxed readiness, body reflexes • Module 6 (Jun 4–6, 2027): Conscious in the Moment — reading space, composition, ensemble play Each module runs Friday evening (19:00–21:30), Saturday (10:30–18:00 with lunch break), and Sunday (10:30–14:00) with a shared lunch closing the weekend. All modules take place in the larger Studio STERN at PHYNIXtanzt, Hasenheide 54, Berlin-Neukölln (U7 Südstern). Price is on a sliding scale by honest self-assessment; the lower end is intended for students and people with limited income. Instalment payment is possible.
