Inspired by the Goa Contact Festival, this troupe of Indian CI teachers have set out on a journey to share the joys of contact improvisation with dancers and non-dancers across the country, performing and teaching in Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Dharmsala and Jaipur. They are now back where it all began, to share their learnings and offerings with Forgotten Land.
Let the Dance Guide Us
14th, 15th and 16th Dec
Play and explore with support, by encountering gravity, momentum and weight to enjoy rolling, falling and being upside down. The joy of Exploration through Contact Improvisation. A workshop open to all levels, where we dive deeper into learning how to fall, exploring different senses and letting them guide us, listening to our partner and bringing a somatic approach into our dance.
We will meet three times every day- 10am till 1pm and 3pm till 5:30pm, ending with a jam every night from 7pm to 10pm. The jams on Thursday and Saturday will be open to all as part of Forgotten Land weekly jams.

Moving through change
28th, 29th and 30th January
We continue dancing with the floor, from the Goa Contact Festival into this post festival workshop, transforming our focused-play with the facilitators sharing their work – ‘Sinking into Gravity and Suspending into the Air’, exploring different senses, being guided and inspired by them in our dance and listening to the partner, to ourselves and to the dance itself and understanding how, like everything else, our dance is always changing and transforming from one moment to another.
The workshop is more inclined towards an intermediate level but is open to all other levels.
