It is with tremendous enthusiasm that we present to you the 2nd edition of this retreat created with much love and dedication!
Tatami Dance Retreat will be, once again, 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 5 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 4th to 7th, 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 5th, 6th and 7th we will start the morning with a session of Somatic Practices. Both the Capsules and the Somatic Practices will have simultaneous English/Spanish translation. The Retreat will begin on Thursday the 4th at 3 pm. and will finish on Sunday the 7th 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!
The space has the largest Tatami in Europa, with a surface of… 420 m2 !!!
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 4th and finishing with lunch on Sunday the 7th, are included. For lunch there will be two options: vegetarian or pescetarian. When filling out the registration form you will have to specify one of these two options.
Accommodation will be in wooden bungalows with a capacity for 6-8 people. They are equipped with bunk beds with fitted sheet, pillowcase and blanket included.
The bathrooms are located 30 meters away from the bungalows.
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:
