Contact Improvisation workshop w Anjelika Doniy - Ljubljana (SLO)

(ENGLISH VERSION BELOW) O DELAVNICI UNCHARTED TRAILS - Neraziskane poti Anjelika: »Na tej delavnici se bomo spomnili naravne sposobnosti telesa, da se giblje spontano in se izraža. Ta sposobnost nas povezuje s samim bistvom življenja in je neizčrpen vir ustvarjalnosti.« Za tiste, ki jih zanima prostor med plešočimi telesi, to, kar nas v plesu nevidno podpira, podobno kot zrak, ki ga dihamo. Kaj moramo storiti zavestno in aktivno – in kaj se zgodi samo od sebe ter pri tem oblikuje nas, ples, skupnost in našo pot? Dolgi trenutki ležanja, spanja in ne-delovanja na primer hranijo telo in ga učijo, da se giblje nepredvidljivo, odkriva nove vzorce in sprejema nepričakovane odločitve, mimo racionalnega uma. Kaj je duh plesa? Ne tehnika, temveč duh, ki nas žene k temu, da tehniko vadimo in preučujemo, nato pa nam ponudi paradoksalne napotke o tem, kako rasti, kam iti, katera pot bo prižgala ogenj ustvarjalnosti in potešila žejo po ljubezni. V tej hiši plesa je vse pomešano in tukaj nismo zato, da bi ustvarjali red. Vesolje je košara darov in vse, kar je potrebno, je, da sežemo vanjo – in našli bomo nekaj, kar je namenjeno prav nam. Kaj navdihuje Anjeliko: • Ples kot tak, brez imen in oznak • Proces razjasnjevanja resničnosti skozi gibanje, razvijanje občutljivosti in sposobnosti odzivanja na lepoto • Šamanski vidik plesa – prvinski, življenjski živalski impulz v telesu • Arhetipske podobe, ki razkrivajo svoje kvalitete in hranijo življenjske sile, kot so elementi: zemlja, voda, zrak, ogenj • Tehnike sproščanja, ki osvobajajo napetost in nas uglašujejo s samim plesom DELAVNICA V SLOVENIJI: Priporočamo udeležbo na celotni tridnevni delavnici (četrtek, sobota in nedelja), saj se vsebina postopoma nadgrajuje.

This ability connects us to the very essence of life and is an inexhaustible resource for creativity." For those intrigued by the space between dancing bodies, by what invisibly supports us in the dance, like the air we breathe. What must we actively do, and what happens on its own — shaping us, the dance, the community, the journey. For example, long moments of lying down, sleep, and non-doing nourish and teach the body to move unpredictably, discovering new patterns, making unexpected decisions while bypassing the rational mind. What is the spirit of dance? Not the technique, but the spirit that drives us to practice and study technique, and later offers paradoxical advice on how to grow, where to go, which path will ignite the fire of creativity and quench the thirst for love. Everything is mixed in this house of dance, and we are not here for order. The universe is a basket of gifts, and all it takes is to reach in — you’ll find something meant for you. What interests Anjelika: •⁠⁠ Dance as such, without names and labels •⁠ ⁠The process of clarifying reality through movement, developing sensitivity, and the ability to respond to beauty •⁠ ⁠The shamanic aspect of dance—its primal, life-giving animal in the body •⁠ ⁠Archetypal images revealing their qualities and nourishing vital forces, such as the elements: earth, water, air, fire •⁠ ⁠Relaxation techniques that release tension and attune us to the dance itself WORKSHOP IN SLOVENIA: We suggest you to apply for all three days of the workshop (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) as the material will continue to develop. There is still a possibility to take only weekend (but not Sunday only). On Friday we have a community CI jam into which Anjelika is going to make a warm-up. Community jams are happening every Friday in Ljubljana. SCHEDULE Thursday, Oct 15th: 17:00 – 20:30 Saturday, Oct 17th: 12:30 – 17:30 Sunday, Oct 18th: 12:30 – 17:30 LOCATION Ljubljana – exact location will be shared upon registration CONTRIBUTION Thursday, Saturday, Sunday: €120 Saturday & Sunday: €100 Spots are limited, so your place is secured with an advance payment, no later than 3 days after registration. PRACTICAL INFO Wear comfortable clothes for movement. We dance barefoot or in socks. Remove jewelry and accessories that might interfere. Please arrive about 15 minutes early. The workshop will be held in English. ABOUT ANJELIKA Anjelika Doniy is a dance improviser, choreographer and teacher focused on Contact Improvisation (CI). After five years of formal training in choreography and ballet at the Higher School of Culture in St. Petersburg, she spent ten years as a theater choreographer — until 1997, when she encountered CI at the Impulse Dance Festival in Vienna, watching Steve Paxton perform and joining a workshop with Andrew Harwood. It was love at first sight, and the beginning of a new path. From 2002, she began facilitating jams and CI workshops in Russia, and initiated the International Contact Improvisation and Performance Festival in Moscow (2006–2010). She loves guiding people into the dance, awakening what is already in the body, and surprising longtime dancers with hidden keys that open familiar movement into new spaces. She is currently deepening her practice through a program at the Institute for Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy, exploring anatomy, cellular awareness, and breath. Her central interest in CI is clarity — honesty in how she moves through gravity, and attentiveness to clearing the dance of the personal, letting things unfold as they come. She has studied with teachers including Régine Chopinot, Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith, Danny Lepkoff, Benno Voorham, Lisa Nelson, Esther Gal, Yaniv Mintzer, and Martin Keo.
