Full of joy and after years of preparation, the time has come and we are proud to present to you
Contact in Paradise the first apple – ABUNDANCE.
Abundance? Why?
Because we are organizing for you a full program with many extraordinary national and international teachers and musicians, 4 intensives in parallel every day and 24 workshops during these festival days, to enjoy this abundance together and to celebrate the dance floor together.
And to start with, among insiders very appreciated small frame before a pre-workshop by Nita Little and Ingo Rosenkranz to get in the mood.
Well? Curious now?
Yes! Our first festival: ABUNDANCE 🙂 We love it!
We look forward to experiencing it with YOU!
What is Contact Improvisation?
(CI or Contact Impro for short) is a contemporary dance style that involves the active discovery of all the movement possibilities that two or more human bodies can perform. (Wikipedia)
In Paradise?
… idea of a place of eternal and harmonious existence. (Wikipedia)
Mythological meaning: Paradise, mythological place of happiness in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. (Wikipedia)
* And this is what the teachers and musicians say about paradise 🙂 click here!

Lui Claudia Springer
CI is paradise for me. It’s an inspiring playground where i feel awake, alive, connected and pure.CI in paradise means to me that it’s a save place where i allow myself to explore beyond what i already know, to grow with friends, to learn more and more and more with lots of joy.

Ulli Wittemann
In everything I do, I look for depth and lightness, connection and joy of life. These qualities are also important to me in the spaces I open for other people, whether it is teaching or organising an event. My intention and motivation is to enable human growth as part of a network of motivated people, to live in peace and harmony with each other.

Sus Palm
Body-Mind Centering & Contact Improvisation
finding trust and connection from your center
A journey into embryology and early movement development towards Contact Improvisation. Through cell consciousness, gravity to the earth and the connection to our navel we strengthen our center, expand the experience through the different body systems to a holistic body awareness and grow from here into the world, explore new spaces of perception inside and outside. Expanding ways and possibilities in the modulation of movement and tension within ourselves and in contact with a partner.
