✨ Join us for a one-year program studying Contact Improvisation and Somatics/BMC ✨
Combining these two opens up the body for full presence and aliveness.
Each module of this unique program will offer explorations into the living anatomy of our bodies, which enlivens our contact dances and life in general. The program will open us to flow, spontaneity, presence, and bring grounding, alignment and new skills.
These five modules unlock the cellular knowledge of various tissues in the body. This one year program will help students embark on a path of continued research into movement and somatics, and has the potential to bring about great changes. It informs your body, your life and all other practices you do.
We will bring together a group that moves through these somatic embodiments into dance starting in November 2025 and finishing September 2026. Learning happens in community. Struggles, challenges, insights, experiences of “cracking the code” and freeing up possibilities will be supported and magnified by going on the journey together.
This is a chance to study with a master teacher, Christine Cole, the founder of the SomaticBODY Training program.
It is also a terrific way for CI dancers, teachers of dance or CI to add a wide breadth of new somatic information to your practice. These embodiment modules become toolkits for your personal warmup or teaching tools. This group is open to all with some experience in CI and will provide the ground for the expansion of your own dance and understanding of how the body is inspired to move.
For anyone completing this program, it will be possible to continue with Christine Cole and the Somatic Body offerings. At this time we are hoping to provide 75h of modules to complete a 250h SomaticBODY & CI certificate
Topics for this year:
- Senses and perception
- Hormones and sexual organs
- Intuitive movement
- Making scores, making labs
- Teaching
- CI
- How the nervous system integrates movement and the mind
- Developmental movement patterns

🌞 About the teacher:
Christine Cole displays a radical trust in embodied experience as the primary way for groups to co-create knowledge. She has taught at the school for Body-Mind Centering®, and runs her own trainings worldwide, currently in Russia, USA, Thailand, China and Israel. Christine has long term practices in contact improvisation, post-modern and improvisational dance, authentic movement, improvisational theater, writing, and voice.
SomaticBODY exists to re-ignite the amazing truth of the body, how we become the embryological and evolutionary beings we are. Radical trust in embodied experience is the primary way for groups to co-create knowledge.
