CI TT : Contact Improvisation Teacher Training

INTERNATIONAL
#  CI TT CONTACT IMPROVISATION TEACHER TRAINING FREIBURG

Annual 4 Weeks Training Program
Facilitated by Daniela Schwartz – Eckhard Müller – Mellanie Seeger

WHY?
* Many people with a strong desire to teach CI in diverse contexts wish to have support for their path as well as:
A peers group to share questions and doubts with, to gain confidence and be accompanied through their process.
A safe place to practice articulation and languaging of an experience to be transmitted or shared.An environment to nourish and question their teaching practice and resources related to CI transmission/facilitation/teaching.
To develop their own particular CI teaching style and strengthen their voice.

HOW?
* We propose a training structure with 4 one-week training in a closed group over one year.
* In between the training weeks there is time to continue your research/practice, find answers to questions, and hopefully find more questions.
* As part of the training, participants will co-teach a class and receive feedback from the group.

CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM:
* We will share the motivation to be in this program and the questions we all bring.
* CI classes will be offered as models, taught by one of the teachers’ team.
* We will observe, talk and discuss about how to look at classes and how to
analyze them. Through the discussions you will find your own filters and ways.
* We will open space for first experiments offering co-teaching labs and discussions to a certain topic of interest and will also propose labs to your questions.
* We will share resources, strategies and scores, which will facilitate access to new material/thoughts/ideas.

POSIBLE QUESTIONS
* Questions about teaching could be
What is CI for me? (more general)
Which (content / structure / values) do I wish to provide through my teaching?
How do I wish to teach (environment/quality/atmosphere of the class)?
How do I prepare a class? How do I lead a class?
Safety issues for a class or a jam. Do I need them?
What is a CI jam for me, how would I host one?
CI and socio-politics: What CI has to do with our society?
CI as a performance art or/and a social dance?

FEEDBACKS
* We provide different structures and methods to give/receive personal feedback within the entire group and small groups.

FORMATION / DIPLOMA
* We will encourage you to co-teach one entire class towards the end of the program. You will choose your group and your interest. You will receive feedback from the group and/or the teachers in your chosen format.
You cannot fail the program, you will deal with the feedback you receive in the way is the most useful to yourself.
