Festival of Contact Improvisation and Music
Welcome to Contact Improvisation and Music festival at eco-farm «Bobry»!
17-19 August 2018
for information and registration: Artem1y@yandex.ru
We invite you to explore together contact improvisation and its interaction with music. Classes with Steve Batts (UK), jams and labs with Artiom Markov, Masha Grudskaya, Evgeniya Dybovskaya, Oleg Frolov and other teachers and musicians.
And, of course, the festival is more than jams and classes – it is open and easy communication with others, opportunity to share space and time together, and to be yourself. In a semi-wild space of eco-farm «Bobry» you’ll find river and forest, sauna and fireplace, studio and kitchen, sunrise and sunset…
We invite contact dancers of all levels —
To explore how sound becomes part of movement – the sound of the river, forest, birds, music, voice…
Somehow in CI tradition we do not dance to music, music is not a primary sourse for movement. But what if we integrate music as another partner or landscape for dance?
There will be space to dance with music and in silence…
