Somatics, Technique & Improv/Performance
Spring CI Residency • 25 April - 11 May 2025 • Algarve, Portugal
Three themes, three visions.
Escape to the stunning Algarve, Portugal, for a transformative two week CI Residency blending workshops, jamming and research in a natural setting
Three paths into deeper dancing.
Grow as a Dancer
The program weaves together three strands of practice:
Somatics — cultivating inner awareness and connecting body and mind through sensation.
Improv/Performance — developing generosity, group awareness and the courage to be seen.
Technique — expanding CI vocabulary, exploring weight, rhythm and alignment.
Exploring connection through movement and play.
Jamming & Labs
A three-day Jam with labs, bodywork and improvisation offers space to integrate new material, experiment, and celebrate CI in community. Set in nature at Quinta Braz, with daily jams, workshops, music and rest, it’s a time for discovery and shared expression.
