Contact Beyond Contact Workshop

In the organizer's words:

CBC Workshop (x Ecstatic Dance Cologne)

A two-hour introductory workshop with Elias Doré to the somatic dance form 'Contact Beyond Contact' (CBC) - Join us and experience a blend of authentic movement, intuitive connection and spontaneous dance.

After an opening circle and warm-up, we will first explore together how we can move in space and in our own bodies before moving into the basic principles of CBC and exploring them in dance.

The workshop requires no previous experience and is open to all dancers, fitness levels and ages. During the session, emotions or insights about the psychosocial connection between dance, movement and everyday life may arise and be integrated through dance practice.

09/02 - 14-17:00

Optional: self-organized dinner together from 17-18:30

Afterwards there will be an Ecstatic Dance from 18:45 ❤️‍🔥

More about CBC:

Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a dance and healing practice that combines Authentic Movement (AM), Contact Improvisation (CI) and Passing Through (PT) with methods from Qigong, Yoga, Mindfulness and Somatics.

These practices are woven together to create a holistic integration of body, mind, heart and spirit. CBC aims to create a safe container in which people can meet, transform and evolve through movement and dance.

In CBC, movement and shared energy become embodied communication for true connection - a metaphor for how we walk into relationships and a practice for how we meet life.

Contact Beyond Contact as a dance and healing practice was developed by dancer and choreographer Vangelis Legakis through the connection and exploration of various movement practices and healing modalities.
