It is with tremendous enthusiasm that we present to you this retreat created with much love and dedication!
Tatami Dance Retreat will be a space-time of co-existence to immerse ourselves in the exploration of somatic practices that feed our dances, with Contact Improvisation being at the very core of the proposal.
We have designed a programme that will allow us to enjoy moments of shared study, receiving the material brought by our 7 facilitators and, at the same time, we will all have ample time to improvise the dance, rest, swim in the pool, walk and contemplate the sea…
From September 5th to 8th, we will be honoured with a total of 6 sessions of 3 hours each: 2-hour Capsules, which will precede and inspire our improvisations in the 1-hour Jams that will follow. On Sept 6th, 7th and 8th we will start the day with a session of somatic practices guided by Marta Iucci. All of them will have simultaneous English/Spanish translation. The Retreat will begin on Thursday the 5th at 3 pm. and will finish on Sunday the 8th at 3 pm, right after lunch.
Every night, after dinner, we will continue dancing at the Jams with live music. Some of these Jams will be open to people from the dance community who are not part of the Retreat.
There are a total of 70 SPOTS AVAILABLE. If you feel the calling to be part of this, make sure you reserve your spot using the form placed at the bottom of this page!
After many years of searching for a place that could meet the needs and conditions for an event like this… it seems we finally found it!
The space has the largest Tatami in Europa, with a surface of… 420 m2 !!!
Our jaw dropped – just like yours might be dropping now – when we saw it for the first time!
There will also be a swimming pool available. The venue is located 15 minutes on foot from the sea, surrounded by an area which is typical from the Catalan coast.
From Barcelona you can get to Caldes d’Estrac by train (Rodalies R1, approx. 1 hour). It takes 20 minutes to walk from the train station.
All breakfasts, lunches and dinners, starting with dinner on Thursday the 5th and finishing with lunch on Sunday the 8th, are included. For lunch there will be two options: vegetarian or pescetarian.
Every afternoon at 6:30 pm there will be a selection of fruit and snacks to recover some energy.
Accommodation will be in tents with a capacity for up to 6 people. These are fireproof, with a double roof, mosquito net, electric light, wooden flooring and bunk beds with bedding included.
There will be a camping space for those who would rather use their own tent. Mattresses will not be allowed to be taken out of the tents offered by the space.
For those who prefer to sleep in their van, there will be a place to park it as well.
The options available are the following:
