Hi, Athens. First of all it's an honor to meet & share the passion for the research. Enormous sense of gratitude to Pedro Panuela @opedropenuela for agreeing & following through on this spontaneous creative endeavor! Let's see, feel & notice what sprouts of it. 🌱 Saturday - 30/05 ⌛ 14:00-17.00 - Workshop 17.00-17.30 - Break 17.30-20.00 - Jam Location - Ananda Unity 🚩 The proposed theme of this session is a dynamism of Falling - a simple, yet ever-lasting fundamental motion of experience to be a part of. For : any act of standing is surrounded by & subjected to an act of Falling, as such 'standing' is rising from a fact of Falling, (re)creating a geometrical form & paradigm of growth. 👣 We will 'touch' on small gestures of falling inside our bodies, finding valleys & curves that create pathways for us to follow & observe the unfolding directions, yet also tracking placement that can be of support or yielding connections. 🐾 As, in a larger scale - we will practice fragments of in-through-out, as little clocked-noticeable-steps that happen in the partner dance: Falling into the Invitation (In) - Exploring the Invitation (Through) - Leaving/Redirecting the Invitation (Out) : Noticing how turns appear & our roles seamlessly shift. --------------------------------------------------- If we take a moment to pause & observe, everything surrounding us is literally in the dynamic of an unsettling falling notion. What we are witnessing on a regular basis - is an angle & degree of such falling & consequent-supported rising. That support is what we will inquire into further in this class-session. 🌳 Imagine the amount of time we spend as human beings in the Up-Right position? How much has been inhabited, learned, observed, participated in from this position of life... Often times, within social norms, falling is associated with failure & weakness. Yet, ironically in the realm of the Dance it is a place of subtle achievement, as each fall can be a cushioned meeting. 🍃 So perhaps with these gentle reminders we can introduce & explore the directions of the eye-bodily-sight in the weight-attention shared practice of Contact Improvisation. #contactimprovisation

A sneak peek from last weekend’s Contact Improvisation (CI) Intensive by @playcultureasia ✨ Guided by @sanatmehtaa (India) @emeliakoberg (Sweden) and @valevych (Ukraine), we explored weight, listening, spatial awareness, and the quiet language between moving bodies. Learning to yield, to trust, and to move with ease 🤍 Thanks to @iti_sg for providing us with the venue, and to all the participants and guests who joined us in these 3 days of deep immersion into this non-verbal language of movement, play and dance 👯‍♂️🎭 We hope you continue this journey of learning and exploration… and that we come together again soon, in shared space and in contact 🫐

Thank you for the gift of dancing @jones_ryan_lee , honor to call you a friend and learn with you in the presence of the shared range & reflexology of movement. Ryan is an incredibly humble being, creating, curating Molecular Earth @molecular_earthing journey in the seeds of its development. He is a very talented therapist, dancer and intuitive person, sharing gifts from the heart. I was lucky to receive a session from Ryan and it was full of care and a sensitive presence. It brought and clicked with childhood memories that regularly I would not attend to. It is still a reminder to tap back into those memories the session brought up, yet it's important to acknowledge the potency and potential for wider resonance they carry and have been brought to spotlight through Ryan's session. If you ever consider discovering a journey of tactile, intuitive, innate listening that are related to self-other essence of extended care, vulnerability and wholesome connection - Highly recommend connecting to Ryan and his upcoming sprouting invitations and growing potentials. Thank you & kindly. In anticipation of reconnecting with you again, Ryan. Thank you for capturing the moment @hey.i.cu ! 📹📽️ Thank you for hosting your meaningful, potent sessions in Ubud, Bali @sima_soera #contactimprovisation #somatic #dance #movement

Spontaneous creativity & personal share : Growing up it felt important to not stand out. Chubby frame, shy. Compensation ? Years of conditioned weight lifting. No exposure to mobility. Luckily no injuries. But an extension of poor comprehension over one's body structured system. This hippy dance came around a few years ago. Contact Improvisation. Still shy to stand out. Time softens. Reflections open. Maybe there is beauty in the quiet shyness. Curiousity allows growth to sprout through it. Relation within and echoes throughout & around. As for mobility.

“Var olanı onurlandırırken, keşfetmek için güvenli bir alan” Kontakt Doğaçlama’nın incelikli, işlevsel ve çok katmanlı dilini birlikte deneyimlemeye davetlisin. Bu buluşmada, bedende zaten var olan bilgiyi açığa çıkarıyor; zeminle kurduğumuz ilişkiyi derinleştiriyor ve fasya aracılığıyla akışkan ve duyarlı bir hareket alanı oluşturuyoruz. Valentyn Korotkevych, somatik terapi uygulayıcısı, spoken word ve hareket sanatçısıdır. Çalışmaları; polivagal teori, derin doku masajı ve şiirsel dans yaklaşımlarını bir araya getirerek beden, duygu ve ifade arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırır. 📍 16 –17 Mayıs ⏰ 13:00 – 18:00 📌 Yoda People Studio Detaylar ve kayıt için profildeki linkte yer alan formu doldurabilirsiniz ✨

Sezgileri dinlemeye ve yavaşlamaya davet eden bu atölyede, bedenin iç sesine alan açarak netlik, hizalanma ve güven halini deneyimleyeceğiz. Mevcudiyetle hareket etmeyi keşfederken, fasyayı hissedecek, mikro hareketlerini fark edecek ve onunla uyum içinde çalışacağız. Fasyanın elastik yapısından gelen gücü kullanmayı araştırırken, zeminle kurduğumuz bağı derinleştireceğiz. Zemini her an bizi destekleyen bir dans partneri olarak deneyimleyecek ve bu bağlantıyı hareketimizin temel kaynağına dönüştüreceğiz. //ENG In this workshop, we will be invited to slow down and listen to our intuition, creating space for the inner voice of the body and experiencing clarity, alignment, and a sense of trust. As we explore moving with presence, we will sense the fascia, notice its micro-movements, and work in harmony with it. While researching how to access the power of fascia’s elasticity, we will deepen our connection with the ground. We will experience the ground as a dance partner that continuously supports us, and transform this connection into a fundamental source for our movement.

Hi. Invitation to spend summer together in Corfu 🇬🇷 - in the passion of contained Contact Improvisation form. In its somatic, technical, inter-personal, and omni present waves & unfolding directions of support. After spending last two years in Asia, attending to discovering cultural belongings, facilitating and meeting in the dance in Vietnam, S Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Bali & Australia - Pleasure to deep dive back into European lands, closer to roots & hopeful sense of home. This meeting in Greek landscape is forming with a kind openness of Ageliki, @ageliki_dancinglife local organizer and caretaker who opened the door to this potential & supportive involvement in nourishing and discovering Corfu CI-Creative community This workshop aims to integrate essential qualities of Contact Improvisation. To spark a sense of interest, inquiry & contemplation in the area. Forming a group to remain in the research of the practice on a weekly basis throughout the summer. Materials will touch on Foundational elements of : - Internal-External Space orientation, leaning & connecting to the Language of falling, rising Pathways - Roots, reflexes, fascia of enveloping body - Weight pouring/sharing as a language of exchange, further aligning with a matter of the Center(ness), informing the language of transitional fleeting Roles that impact & develop the dance - Spinal fluidity - Psychological aspects & internal statements that inform the dance in the language of patterns & preferences. - Imaginative reach in tune with the safety of perceiving what is occuring and what is imagined. --> A chance to explore, (re)visit & feel introduced to multidisciplinary practice. All levels are welcome. *When?* First Weekend of June | 3 Hours Workshop-Study-Practice time 06.06.26 - 07.06.26 | Saturday - Sunday 16:00-19:00 100-120 Euro | Sliding Register w/ Ageliki : email: [email protected] (Ageliki) or Valentyn +32 466 24 11 37 (What'sApp) | Instagram - @valevych beforehand or Show up as you are last minute. --------------------------------------------------------

“Hisseden Bedenin Geometrisi - Kontak Doğaçlama Atölyesi” 3 Mayıs Pazar, 11.00-18.00 arasında Kült Teras - Black Box'ta! Atölye Yürütücüsü: Valentin Korotkevych Bu atölye, Kontak Doğaçlama’yı duyumsayan bedenlerin oluşturduğu yaşayan bir geometri olarak ele alır. Bu pratikte form, önceden belirlenmiş şekillerden değil; temas, ağırlık, nefes, momentum ve yerçekimiyle kurulan ilişkiden doğar. Atölye, temas noktasını hareketli bir eksen olarak araştırır; denge, düşüş, askıda kalma ve toparlanma süreçlerini fiziksel yasalarla diyalog içinde inceler. Yerçekimiyle mücadele etmek yerine onunla iş birliği yapmayı; düşüşü bir kayıp değil, bir yön değiştirme olarak deneyimlemeyi önerir. Çalışma, propriosepsiyon (bedenin uzaydaki konumunu algılama yetisi) ve somatik dinleme üzerinden ilerler. Katılımcılar, bedeni hem hareket eden hem de çevre olan bir alan olarak deneyimler; açıları ölçmek yerine hissetmeyi, formu planlamak yerine anlık geri bildirimle inşa etmeyi keşfeder. Bu yaklaşımda geometri görsel değil, kinestetiktir — basınç, zamanlama, ton ve dikkat üzerinden algılanır. “Geometry of Sensing Bodies” yani Hisseden Bedenin Geometrisi, yapının canlı olduğu ve algının yaratıcı bir eyleme dönüştüğü bir araştırma alanı sunmaktadır.
