BETH ERLANDER

Hi, my name is Beth Erlander and I am an Art and Play Therapist who works with kids of all ages. I have been doing Contact Improv since 1996 and have co-taught CI briefly in Denver and have recently co-led some blindfold CI jams. I attend the Boulder Contact Lab almost every Sunday where we state an intention to focus our dances and dialogue is encouraged. To see more about this please look up Guidelines-Boulder Contact Lab on the web. I am also bringing a copy of the guidelines to share. Currently, I am becoming a “somanaut” which means I am in a training about body-mind centered psychology where we become like astronauts and journey into the body. If you want to know more please check out my teacher and mentor's website www.anniebrook.com. I have been using my new acquired skills to help people slow down and connect to themselves, others and to the ground.

This jam will start by learning how to yield into the ground, the partner that is always there for us. After we connect to the floor/ground we will explore all our end points and begin to move and discover those around us. We will then learn how to yield with another and begin our dancing dialogue. I am happy to come to Portugal and to learn from you and your contact group.

DIVIRTAM-SE!!!

HAVE FUN!!!

17h30-18h30 Warm up (Isabel Valverde)
18h30-20h30 Jam (Música - Eduardo Cunha e Paulo)

Neste Jam vamos explorar a riqueza de superfícies de contacto na areia, pedra e água desta praia singular, sem esquecer o cheiro de algas, o som do mar, as cores, luz e calor do sol. Vamos deixar que estes elementos influenciem de forma particular a relação com os nossos corpos em improvisação interpessoal e de grupo.

SÃO TODOS BEM VINDOS!!!\

6.30-8.30pm Jam (Music - Eduardo Cunha e Paulo)

In this jam we will explore the richness of the sand, rocks, and water contact surfaces at this singular beach, not forgetting the seaweed smell, the sea sound, the sun's colors, light and warmth. We are going to let these elements to influence in particular ways the relation with our bodies in interpersonal and group improvisation.

ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

Hybrid JAM: Senses Places @ CILXJAM

INVITATION TO HYBRID PARTICIPATORY PERFORMANCE Senses Places @ Contact Improvisation Lisbon Jam Schedule: .5.30-6.30 Facilitated Warm-up (Isabel Valverde) 6.30-7.30 Jam with Life Music (Eduardo Cunha) 7.30-8.30 Hybdrid Jam (Second Life®) Life Music (Eduardo Cunha) AT Fábrica do Braço de Prata AND Second Life SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Koru/233/233/3005 (you need to have or download the SL application and create an avatar) Description This hybrid jam will include Contact Movement/Dance and Sound/Music Improvisation, amongst physical bodies, avatars (Second Life remote participants), and physical bodies and avatars. The keyboard-free mediated interactions will be enabled by real-time video webcast in SL of the physical participants in Lisbon, and Webcam and Wiimote interfacing (software objects to be shared) for physical and remote participants. This initiative continues the ongoing experimental dance-technology collaborative research work from Real Virtual Games through Senses Places/Lugares Sentidos at the CILxJam, towards expanding the physical and physical-virtual interactive engagement by developing Contact and Somatic Movement, Sound, and body-environment climate based interactions via desktop-free alternative modes of embodied interfacing between physical and virtual bodies/avatars and environments (Second Life®). We focus on challenging choreographic/designed relationships amongst participants, with/through their mediated doubles (video image and/or avatar), and with aspects of the converged responsive environments, which would benefit, enrich, bringing agency to embodied subjects within a post-human corporeal condition. We are interested in: - How are we differently affected by interacting with our avatars while seated at the desktop, and/or by actually moving (with) them? Program them to respond according to our wishes? - How can avatar embodied experiences allow a challenge to subjective and inter-subjective/social physical-virtual presence and mobility, other than substituting the physical by the virtual embodiment? - How can the new technological potential also mean a change of mentality? To the participants: Please arrive to the Sense Places SL environment at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Koru/233/233/3005, 5-10 mn earlier in order to acquire the shared animations, and objects for webcam and Wiimote interaction. These are free-software that you can additionally program, changing the animations to include your own. The jam is quite informal and each participant/avatar is invited to interact with each other and the environment in different modes, moving/playing with the shared interfaces and movements. All other modes of interaction/interfacing are welcome, either in alternating, accumulating, integrating, including physical and avatar spatial navigation, gestures, chat and voice, as well as other innovative modes of keyboard-free interaction. Please feel free to experiment with accumulation of moves, the shared and your own. They are of different sorts, from floating in the air, moving body parts in various possible and impossible ways, turning in the air. Be welcome to enjoy other amplified ways of moving and interacting with others and environments. Please share with anyone you think would be interested.

Video excerpt of last Sunday's JAM
Lovely to be at this nice cozy wooden floor room with a piano and surrounded by books and paintings.


Thanks for the amazing participation and quick start of the new comers. Also the often surprise visit of foreign visitors.
The gracious and colorful sharing of touch, weight, energy of flow is visible in the video document.

See you in one of these jams!!!

O aquecimento é um modo de progressivamente evoluir em conjunto para a Jam. Com base em princípios de Body-Mind Centering, Release and Alignment, Tai Chi, Alexander, Ideokinesis entre outros damos atenção ao acordar das percepções principalmente cinestésicas, através da capacidade de respirar, descontrair (dar peso), e escutar/seguir a fluência movimento próprio e dos outros, mantendo a integração ou controlo do centro-de-gravidade. As relações de contacto estabelecidas nem sempre são físicas, explorando outros modos de interacção através percepção da energia electromagnética que emanamos.

"Contact Improvisation works with lines of force, both inside and outside the body. It strengthens the body rather than breaking it down, so it enables a dancer to move at the limits of their own potential. The result is someone who moves in internal and external zynchrony, whatever their range, whatever their dynamic Jennifer Mascall speaks fondly of Paxton's image of the long life of the dancer. 'Contact is the only thing that I've discovered that can allow me to have a long life,' she says."
