During the 14th edition of the Warsaw CI Flow International Dance Festival we would like to invite the participants to reflect on the physical and creative core of Contact Improvisation, a practice referred to initially as an ‘art-sport’, and on how the principles of CI shape our community today. Somewhere between openness to the unknown, delving into one’s somatic self, and accepting challenges, there lies a space where we appreciate our uniqueness and differences, where simply sharing the experience becomes deeply interesting and engaging. 

It is our pleasure to invite you to a diverse, international festival with many experiences to offer. This year’s programme features somatic work, CI technique classes, and performative practices. There will also be space for labs, site-specific workshops, jams, and bodywork. All classes and scores will be facilitated by a team of practitioners, artists, and teachers from all over the world. We believe that CI creates a unique context to meet with each other and with oneself. Through the practice of movement and embodied reflection, we develop our personal resources, creativity and knowledge that go beyond the dance itself. These qualities support the inclusive nature of CI as an embodied practice, welcoming a diversity of physical and communicational possibilities. They also support a communal way of being together and promote relationships based on mutual understanding, empathy and trust. See you at MIK!
