bewegungsschreiber

site-specific movement improvisation workshop
facilitated by Stefanie Alf (Violin), Ingo Reulecke and Trinidad Martínez
from the 26.12.2023 to 5.1.2024
in Cabo de Palos, South of Spain
Lodging in Sub- Up. In collaboration with Centro Párraga
In this dance and improvisation workshop, we would like to focus on the writing, writing from and with the movement. At the same time allowing that dance influeces what we write, think, talk. Playing with this coming and going between words and dance. With waterfalls, fishes, waves. It could be something submarine, steep like or dry.
We would like as well to reflect on the written, to re- think, to feel the ocean, to dive.
During Summer, I did my first scuba diving workshop. I enjoyed writing between each class.

SCHEDULE

26 December: Arrival

1 January: Free day.

 2 – 5 January:  The same like the first four days.

Optional group diving (snorkeling):
Cabo de Palos is an amazing area for diving. F
or those who are interested, we can organice one or two snorkel trips. We will have an experienced diving teacher guiding us from the diving club „Islas Hormigas“. And because the water in winter is a bit cold, we will be wearing a diving neopren suit. Last summer I got to know this club, people are super nice and professional. The price is around 40-50€ for each excursion (which is not included in the workshop price). More detais to come.

LODGING

The idea is to lodge together at the Sub- Up Hostel, in order to share also this living time. They make affordable prices to this dance group.
The Hostal is made with really good taste, and I felt that it is the ideal space for this encounter to happen. It has a kitchen that we can use and a place for us to practice Yoga. At the moment there is still availability but it will get full soon.

TRANSPORTATION

The most important thing is to buy your plane, train or bus ticket as soon as possible. Prices go up really fast, and at the moment you can still get very good prices.

Alicante Airport: The closest airport is  Alicante (Altet). There are regular buses going from this Airport to Murcia City, but not late at night. So, please check the bus schedule before buying your plane ticket! There is also an Airport in Corvera, Murcia, but usually the prices are high.

– You can also take a bus from Cartagena to Cabo de Palos. There are buses ever half an hour and it takes one hour.

– There are trains and buses from Alicante City to Murcia and Cartagena.

– Shuttle: If you arrive late in the evening to the airport, and we need to organice a pick up. It is better if you come in groups. If this is the case please plan money for it.

CONNECTING FOR TRAVELING AND LODGING

We will make an email group for the people that want to connect to travel together and/or sharing a room at the hostel. If it interest you, please register for this option at the registration sheet above.

PACKING LIST

Bring an appropriated yoga mat with a good grip. We will practice meditation and yoga every day.

Clothes: We will be working outside a lot. Please bring appropriated shoes (running shoes work the best for me) and comfortable warm clothes (layers work the best). Choose clothes which not only feel comfortable, but that you are comfortable being seen in. When we are moving outside, the performative aspect is automatically there. For the kind of work that we do, I recommend discrete, simple, but nice clothes.
