&lt;br&gt;
This year, the ACI has the privilege of hosting &lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Kirstie Simson&lt;/strong&gt; (Royaume-Uni) &lt;a href=&#034;#Bio-K.J.&#034; class=&#034;spip_ancre&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(See her bio)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to Montreal for a series of special events: two intensive workshops as well as an active presence at the &lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Annual Contact Improvisation Jam.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This will be her third visit to Montreal since the 1990s.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Her return to our dancing community is a significant event and a rare opportunity not to be missed.&lt;br&gt;
Kirstie Simson is among the first generation of dancers who helped shape and spread Contact Improvisation throughout the world. Her artistry in movement is extraordinary, and her teaching is renowned for its depth, generosity, and wisdom.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;

Kirstie Simons' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is profound inspiration and great discipline in a practice of improvisation that places vulnerability at the heart of its process. Developing the ability to nurture this state of openness&#8212;to inhabit it, respect it, and respond to it&#8212;within ourselves, in others, and in our environment&#8212;gives rise to powerful and deeply transformative creative work. &lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Learning from a place of interconnectedness builds the resilience and clarity needed to navigate life's challenges and complexities.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
During this workshop, Kirstie will share the movement practices and the philosophies that underpin them, developed over more than forty years of commitment to improvisation as a true way of life. This approach has guided her through the ups and downs of her life.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Alongside the physical work, she will explore how embodied practices can strengthen the resilience essential for responding to the demanding realities of our time. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Having recently gone through a life-threatening illness herself, Kirstie draws on this personal experience to share how a deeply rooted dance practice can guide, support, and sustain us in the face of life's greatest challenges, while nurturing our health and vitality.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Her teaching draws on her extensive experience in Contact Improvisation, dance techniques, the Alexander Technique, Aikido, and meditation, as well as her in-depth knowledge of improvisation in performance. She will share her work through guided exercises, open periods of play and exploration, movement scores, observations, moments of self-reflection, deep listening, discussion, and humor.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to delve into the heart of the wisdom revealed through embodied practices in the studio, through the exploration of movement scores. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Kirstie will guide this exploration, drawing on the depth of her body-mind knowledge, cultivated over forty-five years of sustained practice in deep listening and inquiry. Her approach is rooted in the essential importance of embodied knowledge that nourishes, supports, and affirms life.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Start:&lt;/strong&gt; 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.&lt;br&gt;
This intensive training and research program offers a deep dive into the art of dance, led by Kirstie Simson. Renowned for the exceptional quality of her presence, her sensitive approach, and her extensive experience in improvised dance, Kirstie guides us to the very heart of the creative process.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Regarding her teaching, Kirstie writes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&#8220;As a dance improvisation teacher, my goal is to engage each person in the living experience of spontaneous creation and instant improvisation. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What fuels my work is the constant rediscovery of how this exploration can become a catalyst for learning and offer lasting benefits throughout one's life.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I view learning as a transformation that emerges from self-discovery, through a continuous process of exploration and revelation. I deeply believe that every person carries within them an exceptional potential for creativity.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Our bodies are designed for movement, and it is in our nature to fully engage with this embodied intelligence. Through the study of simple movement practices, we can cultivate a mind-body state conducive to our overall well-being&#8212;a state capable of enriching, even transforming, our relationship with life.&#8221;&lt;br&gt;

Kirstie Simson 2026' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;&#8220;It's very exciting to embark on this next adventure.&#8221;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Creating an Improvised Performance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I am grateful for the opportunity to share my extensive experience working with improvised performances over the years. Exploring what an improvised performance is has always been something I am deeply committed to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having initially grown up in the tradition of Western classical dance, I came to realize that improvisation and improvised performance exist within a completely different paradigm&#8212;one that requires careful attention and thorough examination.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I realized that there is often confusion and a number of assumptions surrounding improvisation, given that these two artistic disciplines are grouped under the same umbrella and loosely defined as &#8220;dance.&#8221; Particularly when it comes to performance, the fundamental principles that govern dance in the traditional sense and those of improvisation are radically different. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What does it feel like to watch and be watched? The vulnerability of sharing the body in motion and the beauty that lies within that vulnerability&#8212;which forms the foundation of the self-transparency inherent in a sincere practice of improvisation. Seeing how the material and the choices made in the moment&#8212;in response to what emerges&#8212;allow for such a profound sharing of who we are. These are some of the elements that make this practice so intimate and unique. A practice that is enriching, radical, and life-affirming.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The spirit of the improviser is a bold one. To go on stage with nothing prepared and remain open to whatever comes, open to what emerges in each moment. Through our responses, we practice transforming the negative into the positive. We question the source of our &#8220;fear of failure.&#8221; Thanks to collective support, we allow this practice to strengthen us and prepare us to face life's challenges. Life is the ultimate improvisation, calling us to be continually present, with care and boldness.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
At its core, it is a deeply spiritual practice that reveals our deep-rooted humanity to ourselves and to others. That is what I experienced&#8212;and what moved me deeply&#8212;when I first saw Steve Paxton and Lisa Nelson perform their duet *Private Parts* more than 45 years ago. It was the first improvised dance performance I had ever seen. The impact of that single performance inspired and nourished my passion for this art form, to which I continue to devote myself entirely, in the spirit of generosity and love that it fosters.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Facing everything and avoiding nothing. Facing my shortcomings as well as my abundance. This is the opportunity that stepping into the spotlight offers us. It allows for a very profound process of learning and transformation, for which I am eternally grateful.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
During this week, I look forward to sharing the principles and practices I have developed through my research on improvised performance&#8212;and, in particular, the relevance of this work in the context of the profoundly difficult times we are facing, where uncertainty is our lived reality.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We'll have the opportunity to create and practice performance&#8212;to be both witnesses and participants in moments of improvised &#8220;sharing,&#8221; among peers and in front of a wider audience. There will be many in-depth discussions as well as opportunities to share our diverse experiences with performance.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We will have the opportunity to share what we've learned, ask for support, engage in thoughtful reflection, and take pleasure in creating together and being shaped by this process.&#8221;&lt;br&gt;

Bio Kirstie 2026' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Kirstie&lt;/strong&gt; (United Kingdom) has been a leading figure in the contemporary dance scene for several decades. Through her virtuosic improvisations, she invites the audience to connect with the vitality of pure creation, moment by moment.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
Described as &#8220;a force of nature&#8221; by The New York Times, she is an award-winning performer and educator who, according to Time Out Magazine (London), has &#8220;immensely enriched and pushed the boundaries of contemporary dance.&#8221;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Now internationally recognized, Kirstie is appreciated as much for the excellence of her teaching as for the power of her performances. She is one of the leading figures in dance improvisation, with a career spanning more than forty years. From 2008 to 2020, she held a tenured faculty position in the Department of Dance at the University of Illinois.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In August 2020, Kirstie returned to Wales, where she continues to deepen her research while sharing her findings with people around the world. In light of the uncertainties of our times, she now presents her work as a set of practices that foster resilience in the face of life's challenges. Drawing on her own experience with a serious, life-threatening health condition, she continues to explore the wisdom and healing capacities that emerge when we learn to listen deeply to our embodied intelligence.

Kirstie Simons' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Il existe une profonde inspiration et une grande rigueur dans une pratique de l'improvisation qui place la vuln&#233;rabilit&#233; au c&#339;ur de son processus. D&#233;velopper la capacit&#233; de prendre soin de cet &#233;tat d'ouverture, de l'habiter, de le respecter et d'y r&#233;pondre &#8212; en soi, chez les autres et dans notre environnement &#8212; donne naissance &#224; un travail cr&#233;atif puissant et profond&#233;ment transformateur. &lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Apprendre depuis un lieu d'interconnexion d&#233;veloppe la r&#233;silience et la lucidit&#233; n&#233;cessaires pour traverser les d&#233;fis et les complexit&#233;s de la vie.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Au cours de cet atelier, Kirstie partagera les pratiques de mouvement et les philosophies qui les soutiennent, d&#233;velopp&#233;s au fil de plus de quarante ann&#233;es d'engagement envers l'improvisation comme v&#233;ritable pratique de vie. Cette approche l'a accompagn&#233;e &#224; travers les hauts et les bas de son existence.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Parall&#232;lement au travail physique, elle abordera la mani&#232;re dont les pratiques incarn&#233;es peuvent renforcer la r&#233;silience indispensable pour r&#233;pondre aux r&#233;alit&#233;s exigeantes de notre &#233;poque.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Ayant elle-m&#234;me r&#233;cemment travers&#233; une maladie mettant sa vie en danger, Kirstie s'appuie sur cette exp&#233;rience personnelle pour t&#233;moigner de la fa&#231;on dont une pratique profond&#233;ment ancr&#233;e de la danse peut nous guider, nous soutenir et nous porter face aux plus grands d&#233;fis de l'existence, tout en nourrissant notre sant&#233; et notre vitalit&#233;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Son enseignement puise dans sa vaste exp&#233;rience du Contact Improvisation, des techniques de danse, de la technique Alexander, de l'A&#239;kido, de la m&#233;ditation et ainsi que dans sa connaissance approfondie de l'improvisation en performance. Elle partagera son travail &#224; travers des exercices guid&#233;s, des temps ouverts de jeu et d'exploration, des partitions de mouvement, des observations, des moments d'autor&#233;flexion, d'&#233;coute profonde, de discussion et d'humour.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Cette formation offre une occasion rare de plonger au c&#339;ur de la sagesse qui se r&#233;v&#232;le &#224; travers les pratiques incarn&#233;es en studio, gr&#226;ce &#224; l'exploration de partitions de mouvement.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Kirstie guidera cette recherche en s'appuyant sur la profondeur de son savoir corps-esprit, cultiv&#233; au fil de quarante-cinq ann&#233;es d'une pratique soutenue d'&#233;coute profonde et d'investigation. Son approche est ancr&#233;e dans l'importance essentielle d'un savoir incarn&#233; qui nourrit, soutient et affirme la vie.&lt;br&gt;

Ce programme intensif de formation et de recherche propose une plong&#233;e profonde dans l'art de la danse guid&#233;e par Kirstie Simson. Reconnue pour la qualit&#233; exceptionnelle de sa pr&#233;sence, son approche sensible et sa vaste exp&#233;rience de la danse improvis&#233;e, Kirstie nous accompagne au c&#339;ur m&#234;me du processus de cr&#233;ation.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;&#192; propos de son enseignement, Kirstie &#233;crit :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&#171; En tant qu'enseignante en improvisation dans&#233;e, mon int&#233;r&#234;t est d'impliquer chaque personne dans l'exp&#233;rience vivante de la cr&#233;ation spontan&#233;e et de l'improvisation instantan&#233;e.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Ce qui nourrit mon travail est la red&#233;couverte constante de la mani&#232;re dont cette exploration peut devenir un catalyseur d'apprentissage et offrir des b&#233;n&#233;fices durables tout au long de la vie.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Je consid&#232;re l'apprentissage comme une transformation qui &#233;merge de la d&#233;couverte de soi, &#224; travers un processus continu d'exploration et de r&#233;v&#233;lation. Je crois profond&#233;ment que chaque personne porte en elle un potentiel exceptionnel de cr&#233;ativit&#233;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Notre corps est con&#231;u pour le mouvement, et il est dans notre nature de nous engager pleinement dans cette intelligence incarn&#233;e. Gr&#226;ce &#224; l'&#233;tude de pratiques de mouvement simples, nous pouvons g&#233;n&#233;rer un &#233;tat corps-esprit propice &#224; notre bien-&#234;tre global &#8212; un &#233;tat capable d'enrichir, voire de transformer, notre relation &#224; la vie. &#187;&lt;br&gt;

Kirstie Simson 2026' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;&#171; C'est tr&#232;s enthousiasmant d'entreprendre cette prochaine aventure. &#187;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Cr&#233;er une performance improvis&#233;e&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Je suis reconnaissante de l'opportunit&#233; de partager ma vaste exp&#233;rience du travail avec les performances improvis&#233;es au fil de toutes ces ann&#233;es. L'exploration de ce qu'est une performance improvis&#233;e a toujours &#233;t&#233; quelque chose &#224; laquelle je suis profond&#233;ment engag&#233;e.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ayant grandi initialement dans le mod&#232;le de la danse traditionnelle occidentale, j'en suis venue &#224; r&#233;aliser que l'improvisation et la performance improvis&#233;e existent dans un paradigme totalement diff&#233;rent &#8212; un paradigme qui demande une attention et un examen approfondis.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
J'ai r&#233;alis&#233; qu'il y avait souvent de la confusion et des pr&#233;suppos&#233;s concernant l'improvisation, du fait que ces deux disciplines artistiques soient plac&#233;es sous le m&#234;me toit et vaguement d&#233;finies comme de la &#171; danse &#187;. Particuli&#232;rement en ce qui concerne la performance, les principes fondamentaux qui r&#233;gissent le travail de la danse au sens traditionnel du terme et ceux de l'improvisation sont radicalement diff&#233;rents.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Qu'est-ce que cela fait de regarder et d'&#234;tre regard&#233; ? La vuln&#233;rabilit&#233; du partage du corps en mouvement et la beaut&#233; qui r&#233;side dans cette vuln&#233;rabilit&#233;, laquelle constitue le fondement de la transparence de soi inh&#233;rente &#224; une pratique sinc&#232;re de l'improvisation. Voir comment la mati&#232;re et les choix faits dans l'instant, en r&#233;ponse &#224; ce qui &#233;merge, permettent un partage si profond de qui nous sommes. Ce sont quelques-uns des &#233;l&#233;ments qui rendent cette pratique si intime et si particuli&#232;re. Une pratique qui est enrichissante, radicale et qui affirme la Vie.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
L'esprit de l'improvisateur est un esprit audacieux. Sortir en performance avec rien de pr&#233;par&#233; et demeurer ouvert &#224; ce qui vient, ouvert &#224; ce qui &#233;merge &#224; chaque instant. &#192; travers nos r&#233;ponses, nous pratiquons la transformation du n&#233;gatif en positif. Nous remettons en question la source de notre &#171; peur d'&#233;chouer &#187;. Gr&#226;ce au soutien collectif, nous permettons &#224; cette pratique de nous renforcer et de nous pr&#233;parer &#224; rencontrer les d&#233;fis de la Vie. La Vie &#233;tant l'ultime improvisation, qui nous appelle &#224; &#234;tre continuellement pr&#233;sents, dans le soin et l'audace.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
C'est essentiellement une pratique profond&#233;ment spirituelle, qui r&#233;v&#232;le &#224; nous-m&#234;mes et aux autres notre humanit&#233; enracin&#233;e. C'est ce que j'ai exp&#233;riment&#233; et ce qui m'a profond&#233;ment touch&#233;e lorsque j'ai vu pour la premi&#232;re fois Steve Paxton et Lisa Nelson interpr&#233;ter leur duo Private Parts il y a plus de 45 ans. C'&#233;tait la premi&#232;re performance de danse improvis&#233;e &#224; laquelle j'avais assist&#233;. L'impact de cette seule performance a inspir&#233; et nourri ma passion pour cette forme d'art, &#224; laquelle je continue de me consacrer enti&#232;rement, dans un esprit de g&#233;n&#233;rosit&#233; et d'amour qu'elle fait na&#238;tre.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Faire face &#224; tout et ne rien &#233;viter. Faire face &#224; mes manques comme &#224; mon abondance. C'est l'opportunit&#233; que nous offre le fait de sortir sous les projecteurs. Cela permet un processus tr&#232;s profond d'apprentissage et de transformation, pour lequel je suis &#233;ternellement reconnaissante.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Au cours de cette semaine, je me r&#233;jouis de partager les principes et les pratiques que j'ai d&#233;velopp&#233;s dans le cadre de ma recherche sur la performance improvis&#233;e, et particuli&#232;rement la pertinence de ce travail dans le contexte des temps profond&#233;ment difficiles que nous traversons, o&#249; l'incertitude est notre r&#233;alit&#233; v&#233;cue.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nous aurons l'occasion de cr&#233;er et de pratiquer la performance. D'&#234;tre &#224; la fois t&#233;moins et participants de moments de &#171; partage &#187; improvis&#233;s, entre pairs et devant un public plus large. Il y aura de nombreuses discussions approfondies ainsi que l'occasion de partager nos diverses exp&#233;riences de la performance.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nous aurons l'opportunit&#233; de partager nos apprentissages, de demander du soutien, de jouer avec des r&#233;flexions bienveillantes, et de prendre plaisir &#224; cr&#233;er ensemble et &#224; &#234;tre cr&#233;&#233;s par ce processus. &#187;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Kirstie&lt;/strong&gt; (Royaume-Uni) est une figure marquante de la sc&#232;ne de la danse contemporaine depuis plusieurs d&#233;cennies. Par ses improvisations virtuoses, elle invite le public &#224; entrer en contact avec la vitalit&#233; de la cr&#233;ation &#224; l'&#233;tat pur, instant apr&#232;s instant.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
D&#233;crite comme &#171; une force de la nature &#187; par le New York Times, elle est une interpr&#232;te et p&#233;dagogue prim&#233;e qui, selon Time Out Magazine (Londres), a &#171; immens&#233;ment enrichi et repouss&#233; les fronti&#232;res de la danse contemporaine &#187;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Aujourd'hui reconnue internationalement, Kirstie est appr&#233;ci&#233;e autant pour l'excellence de son enseignement que pour la puissance de ses performances. Elle est l'une des figures de proue de l'improvisation en danse, avec une pratique qui s'&#233;tend sur plus de quarante ans. De 2008 &#224; 2020, elle a occup&#233; un poste de professeure titulaire au D&#233;partement de danse de l'Universit&#233; de l'Illinois.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
En ao&#251;t 2020, Kirstie est retourn&#233;e au Pays de Galles, o&#249; elle poursuit l'approfondissement de sa recherche tout en partageant ses d&#233;couvertes avec des personnes &#224; travers le monde. &#192; la lumi&#232;re des incertitudes de notre &#233;poque, elle pr&#233;sente d&#233;sormais son travail comme un ensemble de pratiques favorisant le d&#233;veloppement de la r&#233;silience face aux d&#233;fis de la vie. S'appuyant sur sa propre exp&#233;rience d'un grave probl&#232;me de sant&#233; mettant sa vie en danger, elle poursuit une recherche vivante sur la sagesse et les capacit&#233;s de gu&#233;rison qui &#233;mergent lorsque nous apprenons &#224; &#233;couter profond&#233;ment notre intelligence incarn&#233;e.

&lt;p&gt;This year, we have the privilege of welcoming &lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;K.J. Holmes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; She will be in Montreal for the Annual Contact Improvisation Jam and for two intensive workshops.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;K.J. Holmes&lt;/strong&gt; (NY) has been exploring improvisation as a process and performance art since 1981. Trained with Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith, and Daniel Lepkoff, she has collaborated with Simone Forti, Lisa Nelson, and numerous international artists. Her work combines dance, theater, voice, and somatic practices (Body-Mind Centering&#174;, Ideokinesis, yoga, singing). A teacher at NYU, Movement Research, and internationally, she has performed in works by Matthew Barney, Miguel Gutierrez, and Xavier Le Roy. She is currently developing Blu/print, an ensemble creation initiated in 2023.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Monday 3 to Friday 7 November from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; UQAM - Room K-S1210&lt;br&gt;
840 Cherrier Street, Montreal - Sherbrooke Metro&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;On Friday evening, we will be changing studios. We'll be moving to the space where the Montr&#233;al Annual Jam will take place, in order to welcome more participants.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The class will take place from 7 pm to 9 pm, followed by a jam until 10 pm.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This workshop is to honor practices devised by dancer &lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Steve Paxton (1939-2024)&lt;/strong&gt;. We will artfully enter the basic principles of the form of Contact Improvisation which he initiated in 1972, and his Material for the Spine, begun 1986.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#034;Forms for sensations and sensing&#034; (Steve Paxton) :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; these classes will offer students the opportunity to deeply enter the basic study of the physics and ecological forces dancers experience as they move in relationship with each other and themselves.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We will engage with the body in spherical space to improvise in solo, duo and with the class as an ensemble. As we deepen into the discipline of practice, we will evolve the process as tools for dancing to witness how we make sense of being HERE. Playing with the chronosphere and spirals of time, space and weight, we will explore what Steve has said: &#8220;Dance is the art of taking place. Improvisation finds those places.&#8221;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Sources will include several of Steve's writings as well as what we discover in our practices together in this living art form.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Workshop 2 - From CI to performance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Tuesday, November 4 - Friday, November 7 | 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Ashtanga Yoga Studio 118 (1st fl.)&lt;br&gt;
372 Ste-Catherine O, Montreal - Place-des-Arts Metro Station&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt; &#034;Fall&#8230; and Fall again better. &#8211; Theater of the body: from CI to performance&#034;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

K.J. Holmes novembre 2025' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This workshop is intended for those wishing to go beyond regular practice toward composition and performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;A passage from the somatic to the poetic, from improvised contact to shared creation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div class=&#034;spip spip-block-center&#034; style=&#034;text-align:center;&#034;&gt;&#10024; Performance evening on Saturday&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Sharing of the work explored during the week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paraphrasing a quote from playwright Samuel Beckett, this workshop will deepen one's relationship to the Soma through practicing contact improvisation into performance, Soma (as in Somatics) in Latin means the body. In Sanskrit, it is the nectar of the Gods. Where we meet is in the play between the facts and the fictions. This is the location of our great imaginations.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This workshop will be an entrance into physiological and poetic character/qualities of the bodymind going from practice to performance. Traveling from the physics of the body moving in relationship to earthly forces and others to actively witnessing each other, we will create a dance that will further our experience of contact improvisation into an expression of our humanity.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;How do we see ourselves seeing being seen?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Cet atelier rend hommage aux pratiques cr&#233;&#233;es par le danseur &lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Steve Paxton (1939-2024)&lt;/strong&gt;. Nous entrerons artistiquement dans les principes fondamentaux de la Contact Improvisation, initi&#233;e en 1972, ainsi que dans son travail Material for the Spine, d&#233;velopp&#233; depuis 1986.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#034;Formes pour les sensations et la perception&#034; (Steve Paxton) :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ces cours offriront aux participants l'opportunit&#233; d'explorer en profondeur l'&#233;tude fondamentale des forces physiques et &#233;cologiques auxquelles les danseurs sont confront&#233;s lorsqu'ils se d&#233;placent en relation avec eux-m&#234;mes et avec les autres.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nous engagerons le corps dans l'espace sph&#233;rique pour improviser en solo, en duo et collectivement. En approfondissant la discipline de la pratique, nous ferons &#233;voluer le processus en outils pour danser et pour t&#233;moigner de la mani&#232;re dont nous donnons sens au fait d'&#202;TRE ICI. En jouant avec la chronosph&#232;re et les spirales du temps, de l'espace et du poids, nous explorerons les mots de Steve : &#034;La danse est l'art d'&#234;tre en un lieu. L'improvisation trouve ces lieux.&#034;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Les sources incluront les &#233;crits de Steve ainsi que les d&#233;couvertes r&#233;sultant de nos pratiques partag&#233;es dans cette forme artistique vivante.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ce stage s'adresse &#224; ceux qui souhaitent aller au-del&#224; de la pratique r&#233;guli&#232;re pour aller vers la composition et la performance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Un passage du somatique au po&#233;tique, du contact improvis&#233; &#224; la cr&#233;ation partag&#233;e.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Partage du travail explor&#233; pendant la semaine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;En paraphrasant le dramaturge Samuel Beckett, ce stage approfondira la relation au Soma &#224; travers la pratique du Contact Improvisation menant vers la performance. Soma (comme dans somatique) signifie &#034;corps&#034; en latin. En sanskrit, c'est le nectar des dieux. Notre point de rencontre r&#233;side dans le jeu entre faits et fictions. C'est l&#224; que r&#233;side la puissance de notre imagination.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Ce stage sera une porte d'entr&#233;e vers les qualit&#233;s physiologiques et po&#233;tiques du corps-esprit, en passant de la pratique &#224; la performance. De la mouvance du corps en relation avec les forces terrestres et avec les autres, jusqu'&#224; l'acte d'&#234;tre t&#233;moin actif les uns des autres, nous cr&#233;erons une danse qui approfondira notre exp&#233;rience du Contact Improvisation en tant qu'expression de notre humanit&#233;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Comment nous voyons-nous, en train de voir et d'&#234;tre vus ?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This year we have the privilege of welcoming Karen Nelson back. In fact, it was in November 2013 that we were able to experience her teaching.&lt;br&gt;
She is one of the pioneers from the first generations of dancers who contributed to the development of Contact Improvisation in the 1970s.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;It is an honor to have her with us for the MTL ANNUAL JAM and the intensive workshop.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We invite all dancers, of all experience levels, to participate in an intensive week of training, leading up to the annual jam, to build your Contact body.
&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;Open to all experience levels! &lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Monday 28 to Wednesday 30 October from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONTENU: SMALL DANCE UNIVERSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Small dance practices instigated by Steve Paxton (1939-2024) can open us to consciously experiencing the reflexes of balance which are faster than thought. Taking a ride on our own balance-dance in combination with a partner's within the living, changing, unpredictable universe of moving in touch is an out of this world dance experience, bigger than size.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Our own reflexes become even more ready to protect us in disorienting spaces. We will touch on spiral rolls, falling puzzles, and essential images from Material for the Spine (Paxton) and other home-made extensions of small dancing.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;Offered to participants who have mastered the fundamental basics of Contact Improvisation and are seeking challenges beyond the usual practice.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Thursday October 31 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday November 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONTENU: Develop composition in CI through 'Tuning Scores.'&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
Presentation of the research during the annual jam. A magical moment to experience as a group!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure class='spip_document_2464 spip_documents spip_documents_right media media_image media_image_png' style='float:right;'&gt;&lt;img src='https://contactimpro.org/local/cache-vignettes/L350xH284/karen_nelson_octobre_2024_3_-b37ea-05fc9.png?1765481232' width='350' height='284' alt='03. Karen Nelson octobre 2024(3)' /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;&#8220;Tuning Scores&#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; originated by Lisa Nelson, bring awareness of the space in which we are dancing. Our observer selves grow to include consciously communicating image and meaning into our reflex-based CI dancing, so that we can make communal and collaborative choices within our group of dance makers.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In this workshop, Tuning warm-ups and scores will play with opening touch and imagination, resting our eyes from social concerns to pick up their own sensing of light, shape, color, movement. We will learn movement with our eyes closed and transmit to others thru a process of non-authoritarian collaboration&#8212; and produce a dance in the process! &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
To bring facile, singular focus CI dancing into making compositional choices that engages and communicates visceral meaning is a potent craft, and our workshop will result in creating a performance score to show at the Montr&#233;al Annual Jam. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Karen Nelson :&lt;/strong&gt; (she/her/chuki) rests playfully within dance improvisation and spiritual practice. As explorer-collaborator, teacher, maker, touring performer, author/contributor to Dancing with Dharma and Contact Quarterly she has been a mutator of the form Contact Improvisation since 1977.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
She co-founded mixed-ability experiments Dance Ability and Diverse Dance Research Retreat and integrates Material for the Spine (Steve Paxton) and Tuning Scores (Lisa Nelson/Image Lab) into her physical-sensation based approach to dancing, along with investigating dominant cultural narratives and re-vers(ion)ing these fictions within her own embodiment and wider community.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Cette ann&#233;e nous avons le privil&#232;ge d'accueillir de nouveau Karen Nelson. En effet, c'est en novembre 2013 que nous avons pu go&#251;ter &#224; son enseignement.&lt;br&gt;
Elle fait partie des premi&#232;res g&#233;n&#233;rations de danseurs.euses qui ont contribu&#233; au d&#233;veloppement du Contact Improvisation dans les ann&#233;es 1970.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;C'est un honneur de l'avoir avec nous pour le JAM ANNUEL DE MTL et pour le stage intensif.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nous invitons tous les danseurs, danseuses, danseureuses de tous les niveaux d'exp&#233;riences &#224; participer &#224; une semaine intensive de formation, pr&#233;c&#233;dent le jam annuel, pour construire votre corps de Contact. &lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;Pour tous les niveaux d'exp&#233;riences&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Lundi 28 au mercredi 30 octobre de 18h &#224; 21h&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONTENU : Univers de la petite danse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Les pratiques de la petite danse, initi&#233;es par Steve Paxton (1939-2024), peuvent nous ouvrir &#224; l'exp&#233;rience consciente des r&#233;flexes d'&#233;quilibre, qui sont plus rapides que la pens&#233;e. Se laisser porter par notre propre sens de l'&#233;quilibre en combinaison avec celle d'un partenaire, au sein de l'univers vivant, changeant et impr&#233;visible du mouvement en contact, est une exp&#233;rience de danse hors du commun, bien plus grande que sa taille ne le laisse supposer. &lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Nos propres r&#233;flexes deviennent encore plus aptes &#224; nous prot&#233;ger dans des espaces d&#233;sorientants. Nous aborderons les roulades en spirale, les puzzles de la chute, ainsi que des images essentielles tir&#233;es de Material for the Spine (Paxton) et d'autres extensions faites maison de la &#8220;petite danse&#8221;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;&lt;h4 class=&#034;spip&#034;&gt;Pour les participants ayant int&#233;gr&#233; les bases fondamentales du Contact Improvisation et recherchant des d&#233;fis qui vont au-del&#224; de la pratique habituelle.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;Jeudi 31 0ctobre de 18h &#224; 21h et vendredi 1er novembre de 9h30 &#224; 17h30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style=&#034;color:#005DBF;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONTENU : D&#233;velopper la composition en CI gr&#226;ce aux &#8220;Tuning Scores&#8221;&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre-spip spip&#034;&gt;Les &#8220;Tuning Scores&#8221;&lt;/strong&gt; cr&#233;&#233;s par Lisa Nelson, apportent une conscience accrue de l'espace dans lequel nous dansons. Notre moi observateur grandit pour inclure consciemment une image et un sens communiquant dans notre danse en Contact Improvisation (CI) bas&#233;e sur les r&#233;flexes, afin que nous puissions faire des choix communs et collaboratifs au sein de notre groupe de cr&#233;ateurs de danse.&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Dans cet atelier, les &#233;chauffements et les partitions de Tuning joueront avec l'ouverture et l'imagination, lib&#233;rant nos yeux des pr&#233;occupations sociales pour capter leur propre perception de la lumi&#232;re, de la forme, de la couleur et du mouvement. Nous apprendrons le mouvement les yeux ferm&#233;s et le transmettrons aux autres gr&#226;ce &#224; un processus de collaboration non autoritaire &#8211; et produirons une danse dans le processus !&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Apporter une simplicit&#233; et une attention singuli&#232;re &#224; la danse Contact Improvisation en faisant des choix compositionnels qui engagent et transmettent une signification visc&#233;rale comme un art puissant. &lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In this workshop dancers will investigate how foundational principles of contact improvisation, including the dynamics of touch, moving support, yielding and reaching towards, collaborative improvisation, and perceptual tuning, can support inspired dancing.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Through guided practice we will develop our capacities for movement,creativity and heightened awareness. Our practice will center around communal and individual respect for ourselves and one another.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Dans ce stage, les danseurs &#233;tudieront comment les principes fondamentaux du contact improvisation, comme la dynamique du toucher, le soutien en mouvement, diriger ou ce laisser guider, l'improvisation collaborative et le consentement perceptuel peuvent soutenir l'inspiration dans la danse.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Gr&#226;ce &#224; une pratique guid&#233;e, nous d&#233;velopperons nos capacit&#233;s de mouvement, de cr&#233;ativit&#233; et de conscience accrue. Notre pratique sera centr&#233;e sur le respect collectif et individuel de nous-m&#234;mes les uns avec les autres.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;strong class=&#034;caractencadre2-spip spip&#034;&gt;DESCRIPTION OF THE THEMATIC:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br class='autobr' /&gt;
This intensive will foster a space and skills for high-stakes, accountable, and responsive contact dancing. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I propose that we dance with the bodies that we have, as the people we are, to invite unintentional magic.&lt;br&gt;
I organize from a highly technical and strongly political research-oriented approach to training contact improvisation through an open system contact body.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt; We will practice practical anatomical, physical, and perceptual skills to open up avenues of awareness. &lt;br&gt;
As we increase options/sensitivity for internal connectivity, touch, sustainably supporting/dispersing weight, finding disequilibrium, transferring force, and negotiating gravity we will also cultivate skills that support an unrelenting willingness to stay in. &lt;br class=&#034;clear&#034; /&gt; Credit: Maria Noisternig&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We will take this work INTO SPACE as an active partner. Generosity, endurance, subtlety, transgression, composition, and responsive articulation will help frame our practices. &lt;br&gt;
We will work with solo body, with partners in small constellations, and as a whole group. We will invite being seen and supporting/being supported as a performance practice. We will practice setting boundaries and be real about power/consent.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Let's say yes to difference within shifting proximities. Strategies will emerge through our practice.&lt;br&gt;
How can our dancing tenderize our states of being while our states of being tenderize our dancing? I believe that we are the politics of our dancing.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
My approach to teaching CI is increasingly informed by my study of the Feldenkrais&#174; Method and social justice work. Intersectionality is central to my work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of my work prioritizes agency and honesty as we practice radical independence and responsible citizenship through our dancing. Bring your questions, grit, politics, and brave dancing selves into this contact improvisation research.
