A Focused Invitation + a small studio + a long duration + a family of dance + the wildness of improvisation . . . . . 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉 Collective Emptiness Practices (11:00 - 14:00) We are deeply interested in contact improvisation and collective presence, which we experience as a generous force giving birth to creative unfolding. The foundation of our structure is to meet and collectively work with emptiness. We meet through the practice of contact improvisation, silence and what-we-don't-know. We will use structural resources like underscores, silent jams and practices from authentic movement. Some moments will shift to explore historical resources & and work with questions & writing. Emptiness Practices will be specifically supported by Alessandro Rivellino & Daniel Rojasanta, with space for emerging propositions. The long durational nature of this group invites a unique opportunity to explore more expressions that may appear from that spaciousness: once per week we will co create a non-verbal Art Making Space container, framed by Alexandra Wuzyk, with the possibility to bring & explore any kind of artistic material. At mornings we have the studio open and available in a time-space that is framed and named as Our Time: Mornings (7:00 - 11:00) - Our Time. We invite you to spend Our Time working towards what you are most inspired to bring into the world, which eventually could be yourself, as you are, and as you will be unfolding. Working with questions, moving, writing, creating artwork, drinking tea, developing collaborations or contemplation. The studio is a holding-open-container, with resources available for all and space to experiment. Also open and generous are the ocean, the rivers and the forest. This time is self organized. It’s not obligatory to do anything. However, the long durational structure of this process makes it a unique opportunity to develop practices and projects that feel relevant to you. Once per week we will share our process in-progress —- Any writings, artistic ideas, or collaborative happenings that might emerge. . . . . 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓? Weaving the world we love! There are dances to occupy time and space, we are interested in those which create time and space. We are curious to question and feel the challenges and the beauty facing the world and ourselves, the nature of what we would like to support around and inside us, and how we can already embody that. . . . 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 This is a non-commercial project, and 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀. Those wishing to support the continuation of this project, may give a donation. Donations will support the rental of the space. . . . . 𝑴𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔 Outside the structure of the research group, on early evenings & weekends Siam Healing Center will hold a program of curated events - 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹. These may support and be supported by the processes of the research group. Presently these include ‘Sonic Body’, sound improvisation with Daniel Rojasanta, ‘Essence of Sharing: CI Space for Beginners’ and saturday Artistic Sharing Night (films/performance/art). The research group could birth more invitations like these to the wider community. . . . 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓? Students of interconnectedness; those who want to learn through the dance itself, through their inner world and through witnessing the courage and beauty of one another. . . . . . Since Contact Improvisation is the primary language in this exploration, we open this proposition to those with enough experience in CI to be self-responsible, relaxed and comfortable, as instruction based CI classes/workshops are not part of this proposition. The duration of this process could, eventually, bring challenges. We invite those who feel an embodied sense of curiosity and commitment to the invitation of this process. :) . . . 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 Time frame is divided in two parts: Part 1: 4 Feb to 14 Feb Part 2: 15 Feb to 6 March / 1 week break / 14 - 19 March - It’s possible to join the first 10 days, or the entire process. Venue: Siam Healing Center, Thong Sala, Koh Phangan . . . . . It’s a priority for us to craft a coherent group with shared intentions, approach and curiosity. Preference will go to those who are available to commit for the whole process, and whose application & curiosity clearly aligns with the values we want to support. Group size 10 - 20, places are limited. We aim this invitation finds those who are heartfelt-searching for a container like this. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴.
