FREIBURG, GOTTINGEN: Osterimprofestival, April 2012,

In the festival of Fuerteventura, my dear new Friend and beautiful dancer, Nadine Santo, invited me to come to Freiburg and then traveling with her to the Gottingen Festival... At the begining it looked like the thypical "we have to meet again and blabla, it can be so great to blablaba..." But this time I was in the Improlife mood  ; )
So why not? Let's go! This trip is about letting the choices to come to me! Improvising life...
Dunke Nadine...

In Freiburg, I spent a very nice time with Nadine, discovering that she is also an amazing clothes creator "Ninsanto", sharing with her the life market!

Nadine first victim of my Origami obsession...

We went to a Jam in Freiburg and then go to Gottingen for 1 week non stop jam night!!!! Yalllah

Transport to Gottingen ; )
The Osterimprofestival: 250 beautiful people together during 1 week in the University Sports Center of Gottingen. Yoga and open circle every morning.
Intensives, Workshops, Lab, One2One, Performance, and Jam every night.
Many childrens sharing this fabulous experience with us. I really really appreciated that Children are complety part of the Festival.
This festival is not only about Contact Improvisation but also Action Theater, Performance Art, Contact-Tango, Music impro (instrument, voice)...



My program:
-Action Theater with Peter Krempelsetzer: . It has been my first contact with Action Theater; language, voice and movement are valued equally for their capacity to express and communicate meaning. Unique approch to physical theater improvisation created by master improviser Ruth Zaporah.
POWERFUL, opening the tools for improvisation, increasing the listening of space and group, pushing the mind-limits of the body, forgetting the correct, clever, coherent, predictable choices!!!
Yes I love it.
I had the deep feeling that I already knew and practiced it... Now I can name it! Then in Berlin I had the opportunity to practise with a group in the Bethanien Center...

- Performance Lab with David Lakein. He is amazing performer-teacher-human being. He invited us to visit the boundaries of the freedom in a group, traveling in the borderline in our choices, the power given by the Performance to an individual or a group... We spent part of the night in a crazy jungle buble! Inspiring deep work.

- Voice with Katrin Lerche.Very interesting voice work, similar to the body work; with a partner we were releasing some part of the body and finding a way to create more space for the breath and the voice. Discovering the amplitude of my voice! Surprised, perhpas, I can also sing??? noooo...
Yeeessss!! such amazing moment... My partner was also surprised by my discovered funky chest!!!!

Flash back, when I was 7, my teacher told me: "you have a nice voice, you should go to the Conservatory". I was so ashamed, me a nice voice? After some weeks, I shared this "thing" with my parents. I wore a flowered dress, my father and my sister drove me to the corridor of the biggest nigthmare of my life. During the audition, I was not able to remember my name... 6 adults sitting in front of me, waiting that any kind of sounds come out from my litle mouth... Nothing, just the deep desire to disapear forever!!!!

- Contact improvisation with Daniel Wermer, Moksha and Javier Cura ( I didn't get the chance to have TangoContact with Javier, not yet!)

- Carola FürbaB: group voice impro (I stayed in contact with her, and have some classes in Berlin)

Strange feeling of being deeply alone but in the same time supported by this many eyes, smiles, hands...










 And now let's go to Berlin!!!!
