The Israeli Contact Improvisation Festival 2010
7 Dec 2010 - 25 Dec 2010

Start warming up...

We are delighted to invite you to the 9th Israeli Contact Improvisation Festival, which we consider a ground breaking step in the field of Contact Improvisation. This will be a forum where a diversity of international contact teachers and participants from all around the world will take part at.
The Israeli Contact Improvisation Festival is the annual celebration
of the Israeli CI community.

This year we have transformed the festival into a community event, it is now operated by the Israeli CI non-profit organization.
The festival spans 3 weeks during which we will meet in different locations to dance, to observe, to learn, and to meet each other.
It is great opportunity to draw together dance and a sunny winter vacation
here in Israel.

You can join all 3 weeks or any 1 or 2 of them. Please take a few minutes to discover how the festival is organized and what's in it.
