Angela Doniy flying in Berlin: "Carte Blanche" a CI Lab.

Angela Doniy is paying a visit to Berlin! We took the opportunity to organise a last minute Contact Improvisation laboratory with her. She is a talented, warm, humble, and enthusiast contact improvisation dancer and teacher, present around the globe in many international festivals. We want to specifically adress this encounter to contact-improvisers with some experience. Let's find each other! 2 sessions: Monday 3rd april, 11h to 14h Tuesday 4th april, 11h to 14h Come a little earlier so we can start on time! Price: We offer to all participants to contribute by donation. You decide how much you can contribute according to your current financial means. This way we want to encourage all of the people engaged in the ci practice to come and dance. Here are some words about Angela's vision for this mini-event in Lake Studios: "Selfexploration, Contact Improvisation and Bodywork Spring is a wonderful time to consciously witness the transformational qualities of the inner and outer body. Like the caterpillar moving into the butterfly we will use movement and expression for transformation. our rivers will climb up mountains. life will most surely emerge" Here is a video, a peak into Angela's recent workshops, where you can sense the lovely working atmosphere set in her classes: https://vimeo.com/207337911 Angela Doniy is a dance improviser, choreographer and a teacher oriented to contact .

I share Contact Improvisation, I share my self, I share what my teachers taught me, my dance.... tea and water :-) I think that contact as communication needs conditions to leave. I like when my friends come to me to dance and talk, and have endless time and space to talk about love. The best joy for me is to create space for people to come together and discover meanings and sense of the dance and life.” Angela Doniy
