SUBSTANCE AND SPACE5 days of Body-Mind Centering® into Contact Improvisation
in the Dance Yurt at Oikia Karapanou, Aegina Island, Greece
with Nina Wehnert.
29/10 - 02/11 2025
~ Wednesday to Sunday ~
We are thrilled to have Nina Wehnert with us in the Dance Yurt again this year, and follow her guidance into the magnificent realm of the body, allowing the richness and subtlety of BMC® to inform our Contact Improvisation dances and exploration.
💫 A few words from Nina 💫
In our early lives in fluid environment and through fluid movement our body tissues grew. We went through a history of folding and unfolding, of migrating, spiralling, embracing and touch. These aspects are still inherent in all our body tissues and in our many ways of expression of life. We will use this understanding of body growth and travel through the richness of embryology - a story of fluidity and space; receiving and giving, condensing and expanding, being and resting.
We will explore milestones in our movement development - aspects of an intrinsic movement alphabet and initial movement vocabulary that formed the sentences, poems, novels of our movement and being. We will open to the inner potential for growth and continuous learning through the relation with ourselves and the world around us.
Movement alone and with a partner, specific anatomical details and clear touch, will take us into the dance. Basic Contact Improvisation aspects will be deepened and provide the ground for more physically challenging dances that can develop from the supposedly “simple”. We will explore fluids, organs and our nervous system and integrate them into the research of the dances.
