Kirstie's big gift is creating a state in the room where everyone simply knows how to do CI. It's not through skills, it's not about beginner/advanced, people enter the weather she creates and that weather changes people's cells into CI cells. (Martin Keogh) Kirstie focuses on the clarity and simplicity of the bones with a ferocity of animal instinctualness. She brings a rich background of knowledge in contact improvisation and improvisation in general. She is generous, humble, and strong. She helps me remember improvisation is already happening - I only have to tap into it. She is one of my favorite teachers.

| Description: | Kirstie is a world-renowned teacher and performer of Improvisation. She has been exploring the form for the past 25 years, since she first studied with Steve Paxton when he brought Contact Improvisation to Europe in the early 1980s. The workshop will be a deepening exploration of Dance Improvisation, in which Kirstie will draw from her extensive knowledge of Contact Improvisation, the Japanese martial art Aikido, and her extensive experience of Improvisation in performance. Her focus will be on exploring uninhibitedly the huge potential of the body’s response to the primal urge to move, inspired by deep energies released through human interaction, physical challenge and through the excitement of discovering new territory, new sensations and of daring to go beyond inherent ideas of limitation. Kirstie builds her classes on simple physical principles and is always exploring ways for students to experience and understand their own bodies more profoundly, which is often experienced as joyful and liberating. The workshop offers a way in which participants will extend and deepen their experience of moving, their physical vocabulary and inspire their creative expression.Kirstie's time in the USA is limited. Come take her workshop while she's still in the states. |

| Experience Level : |
This Workshop is designed for CI dancers with substantial contact improv experience. For example, you should fit in well if you've danced CI regularly (once a week or so) for a good while* and you've been to some jams and/or workshops and feel that you've sufficiently passed the "advanced beginner" stage. * A good while could be about 6 months or more for someone with previous modern dance experience, or about 12 months or more if CI is your primary dance movement form. Contact us if you have any questions about whether this workshop is the right level for you. |

| Where | The Workshop will be held indoors at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center (MARC)(show me on a map), a beautifully renovated church with nice hardwood floors, high ceilings and tall windows that let in the bright desert sunshine. The Workshop participants are all invited to stay together and car camp at a Campground that will be nearby Moab, within a short drive. Note that it's OK if you don't have a car because we'll car-pool as much as we can. [The exact location is still being worked out. Wherever we stay will have lots of nearby canyons and beautiful places to explore. Moab is an incredibly beautiful area!] The camp site fees are included in the Workshop price. If you bring a friend along who's not dancing, they are welcome and we ask that they donate some money for the camping fees. Plan on arriving during the day and before the Workshop starts so that you have time to set up your tent, meet others and explore the nearby area. If you'd rather not camp, there are other accommodations within just a few blocks of the MARC in Moab. See the Logistics page
for LOTS of information. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Food | Bring your own breakfast, lunch and dinner and camping gear. There is a reasonably priced organic grocery store just two blocks away. The group will have access to a full kitchen to prepare meals and a refrigerator to store our food. Group members are welcome to create their own pot-luck or organized food events. To help keep the costs low and meet each person's food requirements, everyone is responsible for their own food. Note that for the WORKSHOP, WEX will provide a lovely group dinner for all workshop participants on Sunday evening. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
