I've been practicing contact improv intermittently for almost ten years, and a couple years ago helped to organize the first Contact Camp at Burning Man. I also have studied performative modern dance technique, a few forms of Hatha Yoga, and assorted martial arts. I have taught Contact Improv classes for free; but I would not consider myself a qualified teacher.

BIOGRAPHY

Kira Maria Kirsch, born in East-Berlin, studied modern dance and pedagogy at the conservatory of Vienna. She was granted with scholarships of t a n z p o o l and the Austrian Arts Council to deepen and further her movement studies and artistic activities. Among many others she studied with Frey Faust for seven years and is a certified Axis Syllabus instructor. Since 2004 she gets invited to lead wksps and classes in both dance technique and contact improv all around Europe and California. Most recently she performed in the works of Liyana Silver(US), Sara Shelton Mann(US), Erika Tsimbrovsky(RUS), Pipaluk Supernova/Half Machine(DK), PARTS and Frey Faust's ABCD Collective(EU). This year she started to collaborate with Hana Erdman(US) making own work. Dedicated to deconstruct aesthetics, critical movement research and finding through-and-through embodiment they presented their experiments at the 418 project (Santa Cruz) and at Moments Notice (Berkeley).

Grass Valley, CA, 95945,

This member is a teacher.

I host/facilitate/teach a weekly class and jam in Grass Valley, CA in the Sierra Foothills, which I've been leading for nearly 3 years. We have a wonderful, warm-hearted group of about 8-12, mixed levels. I also bring out-of-town teachers in to lead weekend workshops. Contact me if you'd like to do this. I've been dancing off and on since something like 1989, have studied with many teachers, always learning and growing and loving it, and bringing in elements from other movement studies. In my teaching I present CI as an art form, a tool for self-revelation and, most of all, a source of endless fun and discovery, as well as an essential remedy for many of the ills of modern society. I would love to teach at festivals or do a workshop in your community. I'm also interested in teaching CI to populations who don't normally spend much time moving or touching.
