2 hour taster class Saturday 2nd May 5-7pm+jam 8:15-10:15pm

Full day Saturday 9th May: 11am-7pm + jam

Somatic Practices and dynamic physicality in solo moving exploration and in Contact.

>>with Hugh Stanier

-Somatic tools for releasing tension in the body & moving with softness

-Exercises to explore moving with ease & fluidity in contact & solo

-Technical elements to support dynamic physicality in lifting

This 2 workshop will be a look at the complimentary nature of somatic practice and physical intensity found in harmony in polarity, Softness in dynamic, power in release.

By softening and relaxing the body, dropping unnecessary tone and releasing not only muscles & tissue, but emotions, expectations and pressures that we put on ourselves, we are more ready to meet intensity without tension or apprehension, and to find new ways of meeting others because we have put down our expectations.

When we come to move with more physical intensity - for example jumping through the air falling to the floor rolling and rising again with speed and agility, lifting being lifted and moving through these intense dynamics with another person - Having released tone and found softness, it is easier for the body to handle this input, the stresses and the dynamic movement if we have already done the work of letting go.

Somatic practices give us the tools to dissipate the energy from the intensity. To soften the tone of the body & both prepare for this intensity of work and to down regulate after the work is done to come back to a settled nervous system after such rigorous output.

I DIFFER, THEREFORE I AM

Viktória and Nikolaï are back to Lagos to explore and dance with you embodied bridges between contact improvisation and existence.

Practicing Contact Improvisation we might find ourselves loosing our-self in the dance of the other physically or emotionally. Being grounded and surrendering my-self to the ground, I might be swallowed up by the other and tied to the weight of something bigger.
How can I stay honest to me and my solo dance? How can I avoid the conditioning to serve the dance of my partner and please the other? How can I give over and negotiate parts of my weight and body, yet keep my integrity and dependence respond-able? How can I let the visual and audible surroundings be part of the movement and still keep individual distinction and attentional differentiation existent? Can you see the other in space and still look inside?

How do I respond to a movement with a question that is the answer?

"To exist is to differ; difference is, in a sense, the truly substantial side of things; it is at once their ownmost possession and that which they hold most in common. This must be our starting point, and we must refrain from further explaining this principle, since all things come back to it—including identity, which is more usually, but mistakenly, taken as the point of departure." Gabriel Tarde

Falling as Redirection
*Contact Improvisation Class*

What if falling isn’t failure,
but the beginning of movement?

This class explores unbalance as an invitation — a source of momentum, listening, and shared intelligence.

We begin sensing the subtle sway already present in the body. From there, we gradually shift beyond the familiar vertical, allowing tremor, tilt, and reflex to initiate motion.

Through solo, duet, and trio practices, we will explore:
• the moment balance becomes unbalance
• falling as a generator of movement
• sharing weight and momentum
• trusting gravity, reflex, and touch

Momentum becomes dance.
Falling becomes redirection.

Open to all movers and those curious to deepen their physical listening.

◯ 6:00–7:30 PM ⫷ Contact Improvisation Class ⫸ Open level
15 to 30€
◯ 8 PM–10 PM ⫷ Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) ⫸
10 to 25€ possibility to pay 7€ if money is an issue.

⚠️ As Judith come from far we really need a minimum of participants to give this class so please subscribe if you are interested >>+4915772061440

✦ Wednesday CI - with Viktoria ✦

Welcome everyone 🤗 Viktória Makra invites you *Every Wednesday* to practice contact improvisation at La Casa del Corpo, Lagos.

◯ 6:00–7:30 PM ⫷ Contact Improvisation Class ⫸ Open level
15 to 30€
◯ 8 PM–10 PM ⫷ Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) ⫸
10 to 25€ possibility to pay 7€ if money is an issue.

⟆ Contact improvisation is a contemporary dance practice, based on weight sharing, momentum, spacial awareness, touch, improvisation and human connection. It opens other ways of seeing dance, complex and simple at the same time. In the class the facilitator role is to help to unfold the depth of this beautiful practice for everybody. Even if this is your first time.

⟆ Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is a movement meditation developed by Barbara Dilley. It involves a structure of sitting meditation, personal movement exploration, and a shared "open space" for group improvisation, and it is designed to be a non-technical practice for self-awareness and exploration. CDP is often associated with Contact Improvisation.

For the organization it's very important to subscribe >> +36 20 557 5955

Who is Viktória? >>I'm an Hungarian contemporary artist. Teacher, performer, director, based in portugal.
As a teacher I was holding many workshops in the Balkans, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Dubai, Armenia, Egypt and Iran. My last 20 years in theatre helped me to travel the world, my last 15 years in contact improvisation helped me to understand it. Or at least to ask better questions...

Contemplative Dance Practice is a free and intuitive dance practice.
It invites us to slow down, to listen, and to move from an inner place rather than from form or performance.

Through simple structures, attention, and shared presence, we explore movement as a way to connect deeply to ourselves, to others, and to something more subtle and essential.

In this space, Contact Improvisation can become a powerful tool for creation, dialogue, and genuine connection with another body — grounded in listening rather than technique.

No prior experience in Contact Improvisation is needed.
People who have never practiced CI and simply wish to experience the practice are very welcome.
