THE GAME WITHOUT RULES - a contemplative contact improvisation laboratory

Movement · Stillness · Encounter · Exploration
What happens when we meet without immediately reaching for words?
What happens when we allow ourselves to spend time together without relying on the familiar habits and social scripts that usually shape our encounters?
This is an invitation to explore these questions through Contact Improvisation, silence, movement and shared presence.
We begin and end with a sharing circle — a space to express what is alive in us, verbally or non-verbally. In between, we enter a period of silent sitting, allowing the transition from conversation into movement to happen gradually.
From there, the space opens into a contemplative Contact Improvisation jam.
Sometimes there will be music. Sometimes silence. Sometimes we might find ourselves in close contact with another human being; at other times, we might be dancing alone, exploring a duet with the floor, a chair, a potted plant — or whatever else happens to be present.
Think of it as a laboratory for how to spend time with other life-forms.
A playground for *the game without rules* — where we are free to discover, invent and reinvent the rules together, in every present moment.
How do we want to meet?
How close do we want to come?
When do we move towards one another, and when do we choose solitude?
Can we share space without needing to entertain, impress or even understand each other?
There is no choreography, no fixed structure to follow and no particular outcome to achieve. We create the conditions together and allow the evening to unfold organically.
This gathering is especially intended for people already familiar with Contact Improvisation and interested in exploring its quieter, more contemplative and experimental dimensions.
a few invitations ⤵
- Arrive with curiosity rather than expectations.
- Allow silence to be as meaningful as movement.
- Feel free to participate, observe, pause or withdraw.
- Stay attentive to your own boundaries and those of others.
- Let the moment itself inform what happens next.
