“FALL IN CI”

1- 8 November, 2022

Pastoral Valley Eco Farm, Fethiye, Turkey

​

​

What?

“Fall in CI” is an intensive gathering around Contact Improvisation (CI); a research and exchange meeting through the dance form.

It is a platform to experience and embody in-depth the different aspects of CI and its connections to other disciplines that it feeds from and feeds back to.

It is a place for all levels of CI practitioners to meet and unfold their potential.

 

Why?

We wish to shed light to CI in-forming bodies of knowledge (BMC, Aikido, Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing Technique, Axis Syllabus, Meditation, Authentic Movement,…).

We wish to make visible the collaborative aspect of the learning and teaching of CI.

We wish to keep on researching together.

 

Who?

This gathering is an invitation from CI-Turkey community to all movers who have fallen in, one way or another, to this form and are ready to not only learn but also share their own insights, inquires and visions during the designated research and lab sessions.

 

Our children and families are welcomed to be with us during this time.

 

Defne Erdur will be with us with his workshop "Embodying Consent in CI" in the morning intensives.

 

We will than have combinations of co-teachings (“Tact-Teach”) by Nayeli Špela Peterlin, Mileen Borgonjon and Defne Erdur.

​

There will be space for diving into some research in and around CI. We will have space for open discussions and sharings.

​

We may even have more surprise guests!

​
 

Where?

We will be fully immersed in the beautiful nature of South West Turkey, dancing, eating, sleeping and sharing our time under eucalyptus trees, accompanied by a little creek, surrounded by orange and lemon gardens in an eco farm, 10 mins away from the Agean Sea. Pastoral Valley will accommodate us in the most nature-friendly way possible meanwhile supporting our needs that come as a result of this intensive work on our body-minds.

​

3 courses of vegetarian food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) from delicious Turkish Cuisine cooked on traditional wooden stove will be served by the Pastoral Valley staff everyday.

 

Best way to reach to Pastoral Valley is through Dalaman International Airport. We will organize shuttle service for a fast and easy access to the location.

 

When?

Gathering will take place between 1st - 8th of November which will give us a chance to say one last goodbye to the summer in this still warm mediterranean fall. The participants will arrive on the 1st of November for registration and opening jam. 8th of November morning we will all say good-bye to the valley.
