Welcome to the first edition of the Touch&Play Festival. This five-day event will break open Contact’s physicality to touch and play with the human chemistry that lies beneath. Together with 16 different teachers and artists we will be investigating those aspects of CI that are so often taken for granted or shied away from in our jams, classes and communities. We will be looking at the intimacy involved in creating close and improvised physical contact with another person. We will research the impact of emotions on our dances, engage with our hormones and fears, explore our sensuality by bringing our senses into the game, and create a safe and consensual space for people to investigate the place of sexuality in their dance and play.

Festival teachers:
Dieter Heitkamp, Keith Hennessy, Angela Donnie, Felix Ruckert, Daniel Hayes, Mamen Agüera Perez, Julie Mona Hunger, Ali & Krisana, Mo Herzinger, Jorgos Fokianos, Sabine Sonnenschein, Daniel Mang, Federico Finamore, Michael Hartenfels, Philipp Wittulsky, Alice Godfroy, Irmela Kastner, Andrea Keiz, And more…
