The 5 Elements — Contact Improvisation Weekend at the Sea — The Hague

Over dit evenement

Contact Improvisation Weekend

23–24 May | CLOUD/Danslab & Beach | The Hague

Be ready for two days to dance in and outside the studio, inside and outside your body with elements like wind, sand, sea, and other moving bodies.

During this unique Contact Improvisation weekend we will explore movement where it was born — in gravity, weather, rhythm, and relationship. Contact has always been inspired by falling, rolling, spirals, weight sharing, adaptation, nature characteristics. During this weekend we will reconnect with those origins.

Expect a beautiful balance of deep practice, playful exploration, and open dancing in the amazing studio of CLOUD but also on the beach if the weather allow it.

We are two experienced facilitators and teachers:

Robin Berkelmans (IG: robinberklmans)
Co-founder of the Contact Improvisation Festival Netherlands and one of the key figures of the Dutch CI community. Robin brings decades of experience, precision, and a deep love for the practice.

Jérôme Meyer (IG: jerome.a.m)
Founder of Flow Fusion, former dancer with Batsheva Dance Company and Netherlands Dance Theatre, and co-founder of CLOUD/Danslab. Jérôme’s approach blends contemporary dance, improvisation, somatic awareness, and creative tools.
Together we will create a supportive, playful, and inspiring learning space.
What you will experience:

• A Flow Fusion morning practice to awaken the body and nervous system
• A deep Contact Improvisation masterclass exploring weight, listening, and movement intelligence
• CI jam on the beach with the sunset and sound of the sea
• Time to relax, share meals, and connect with other dancers
• A closing circle to integrate the experience

And if you feel brave…
a refreshing dip in the sea.
