Contact Improvisation Retreat Sicily - 3rd edition

SICILY CONTACT IMPROVISATION RETREAT - 3rd edition - 28 APRIL TO 2 MAY 2027 Carruba (near Catania, Sicily) We are delighted to present the third edition of the Sicily Contact Improvisation Retreat — a gathering created with care, passion, and a deep commitment to the practice of Contact Improvisation. This retreat offers a unique opportunity for both beginners and experienced movers to immerse themselves in an intensive shared study of Contact Improvisation and somatic practices that support and enrich the dance. Through five days of exploration, participants will engage with different approaches to movement, listening, touch, weight-sharing, composition, and improvisation in a supportive and inspiring environment. The program will be guided by three international teachers with diverse artistic and pedagogical backgrounds: Marta Iucci (Italy), Marta Wrzesinska (Poland), and Jesús Alonso (Spain). Their different perspectives will create a rich and dynamic space for learning, research, and exchange. The retreat will take place at Femminamorta, an amazing venue featuring a luminous 180 m² dance studio with breathtaking views of the Sicilian landscape. Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty — from the sea to the powerful presence of Mount Etna — the environment itself becomes part of the experience, supporting presence, connection, and creativity. More than a workshop, the Sicily Contact Improvisation Retreat is an invitation to deepen one’s practice, meet an international community of dancers and movers, and share a meaningful experience of research, play, and collective growth. 🎈DETAILED INFORMATIONS: https://sicilycontactimprovretreat.tumblr.com 🎈INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT: https://www.instagram.com/sicilycontactimproretreat/ ORGANIZATION: The retreat is curated and organized by Marta Iucci (Italy), Marta Wrexinska (Poland), and Jeus Alonso (Spain).
