Elise Malafosse
Years of experience oriented towards movement and touch (communication and semiology studies, dance, yoga, massage) led me to the discovery of Contact Improvisation a decade ago, at the same time as many other somatic and bodily approaches (Body-Mind Centering, Feldenkrais, Alexander, Rolfing, Axis Syllabus, Gaga, Playfight); and it is with Body-Mind Centering that I have been traveling more deeply for 8 years.
Body-Mind Centering was mainly transmitted to me by Alex Guex (Le Cycle), Anne Expert (Materials training) and the BMC ® school (Infant Motor Development Training in progress), and Contact Improvisation through numerous dances, teachings and sources of inspiration: Nita Little, Stéphanie Auberville, Matthieu Godeau, Asaf Brachach, Emma Bigé, Isabelle Uski, Charlie Morrissey, Mirva Makinen, Matan Levkowish…

Alice Dutreuil Nouchimowitz
She learned from a very young age, without stopping, all kinds of dance, from classical to rock, including tap, jazz, Afro-contemporary, trad which makes her a hybrid and plural dancer. Subsequently she studied contemporary dance at the Perpignan regional conservatory, and was part of a movement-sound improvisation laboratory.
In 2013 she discovered Contact improvisation (CI) and Body-Mind-Centering (BMC), practices that made her travel to meet dancers from all over the world.
She studied in particular with Nancy Stark Smith, Karen Nelson and Nita Little. For about 10 years, these approaches to the body have offered her her main axes of experimentation and research around solo and collective improvisation.
Alice approaches dance as an art of presence and incarnation:
“Dance allows me to dance with the unpredictable and the invisible, it is a relational and expressive passage with the living, with what passes through me and surrounds me. I perceive movement as the very basis of life, the origin of all forms of creation.

Kim
A dancing consciousness
Dancing elf, creator, player, optimist, dancer, builder, enthusiastic, curious, dancer, walker, independent, big and small, dancer, blue, red and green, botanist, calm and dynamic, dancing black sheep, polifasetik and….
Having left school before being formed or deformed, and maladjusted since adolescence, I am mainly self-taught.
A lifelong follower of alternative and “eco” life, exterior and interior.
In dance since 1990, (animator, “facilitator”) when I discovered the dancer in me with Anna Barton in Findhorn, mainly in traditional and Folk dance, then also BioDanza, 5 Rhythms, Authentic, Spontaneous or the 1001 apparitions on my path.
And CI addict since 2015…
With Nita Little, Gogo Petrali, Charlie Morrissey, Daniel Werner, Mathieu Gaudeau, Maria Mora, Ramon Roig on my path, among others…
CI is a philosophy of life. Movement creates emotion.
For 50 years CI has evolved in an increasingly internalized and subtle movement. I am going down this path.
I do not teach, everyone learns.
To start this week, I invite you to see and review CI principles in a creative and fun way whatever your experience. .

Jean Regazzoni
First a student in movement theater at the Dimitri school then a musician, I also practice contact dance, improvisation and musical composition today.
Art is essential, from the tips of my fingers to the toes of my Neighbor.
I combine in my creations music theater and dance which are inseparable for me.
Making an expression of our sensitive beings exist in the world, that’s what drives me, and dance music and theater are some of the most beautiful!

⎯ Meals and more ⎯
Sabine
I like to cook for events that are meaningful to me as well as for dance. I like contact with humans and love to please them. A way for me to nourish dance differently.
My meals are organic, vegetarian with fresh seasonal products, mostly local and cooked with love.
Yael
I take care of the stewardship for the festival and I help in the kitchen.
I live on site.
My goal is for everything to work and for you to feel good.
I like to improvise music in the evening for jams with my flutes, percussions and electronic instruments.
Terra-Contact is close to my heart, it is a beautiful human encounter.
