The goal of the Ponderosa TanzLand festival is to create a multifaceted experience for all who join us. We encourage being present with our practical selves as well as our artistic selves. We aspire to give the festival a spontaneous flair, breaking down the hierarchies between professional teachers, the Ponderosa team, the helpers, the visitors, the participants, the performers and the audience member. We encourage people to see the place as raw and ready for attention. Focusing on all aspects of the term improvisation, we hope to give room to our visitors to participate on many levels. There is enough open space at Ponderosa to extend your mental and physical potentials into your wildest dreams.

Ponderosa is a place of constant sourcing of the theories and practices behind performance. It is a place to come out, to show your beginnings. It is a place to trust non-goal orientated processes. It is an International meeting space for the living library of thoughts and ideas that are mixed within the free scene and the professional art world. It is where east meets west along old borders. It was and is, a place that is meant to provide for a large community of people. It has a continued history of infecting its surrounding depressed region with positive growth. It is a place to honor a practice, which is whatever you know that to be.

We are people who know how to lend a helping hand and know how to sit back and be part of the scenery. Encouraged by the beauty and the nature around us, we live with it, take care of it and use it in our daily aspirations. Part of Ponderosa is a ruin, while other parts house families, construction sites and gardens; each part is overflowing with potential. We invite people to use this potential respectively, taking risks with themselves as artists, performers and practical laypeople.

Heike Kuhlmann teaches dance and movement for adults and kids for more than 13 years. Just in 1998 I discovered CI when I was taking released based technique classes with Stephanie Maher. Since that I took plenty of classes, workshops with many different teachers. For some years I integrated parts of CI in my dance and movement classes. In 2007 than I started to teach it pureley and name it. I like to combine BMC and Contact Improvisation using the BMC principles for discovering the bodys possibility in movement and expression as well as for repatterning. Still I integrate other bits into the CI classes from my dancer´s and movement therapist background.

On one hand I realized how much a somatic approach helps people to come into a satisfying dance. How much they discover about themselves and what that changes their dance with a partner, but also how much a body awareness gives benefits to their life. On the other hand I am very much interested in the performative and virtuous aspect of CI. So I like to bring in contemporary dance techniques, impro exercises and scores into the classes, so that the participants can artistically express themselves.

Starting of with a university degree in Physical Education and Biology, I studied Dance Pedagogy with Leanore Ickstadt and did my MA in Choreography. For the Diploma in Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy (DiplIBMT), I studied deeply Body-Mind Centering and Authentic Movement.

2011 I worked as dancer in the piece „On the way to immortality“, was part of the Organization of the first Global Water Dances Berlin and the PHYINXperformancesalon.

In 2010 I taught at the Easter Improfestival in Göttingen and at Transcontact in Cluj Napoca.

In 2009/2010 I was invited to the first Contact Festival in Florianopolis, Brasil.

I also create my own performances. In our last colloborational we worked work on weather and climate change. This was shown in Berlin, june 2009. The further development of it was shown in May 2010.
