Some examples are: Catrina Choate (Contemporary and Feldenkrais), Amalia Strinopoulou (Limon Technique) Lelia Marcu (Ballet), Steve Batts and Ursula Laeubli, Benno Voorham and Sybrig Dokter, Scott Wells, Ekaterina Ericson, Alexandra Soshnicova and Serghei Golovnya, Cyrus Khambatta, Nora Hajos, Nancy Stark Smith , Ralf Jaroschinski, Sveta Bird, Sasha Dodo, Bernd Knappe, Adrian Russi and Manuela Blanchard, Susanne Martin (Instant Composition, View Points and Contact Improvisation).

Filip Stoica

I am an interpreter and choreographer, with a kinetic basis in contemporary dance, contact improvisation and breakdance, ways of movement that I deepen since 2010.

Collaboration with the Galway Dance Academy (Ireland), Bucharest Metropolitan Circus (Romania), Linotip – Independent Coregraphic Center, working with choreographers like Jan Burkhardt, Marty Kudelka, Dan Puric, Amalia Strinopoulou, Gigi Caciuleanu and choreographic studies within UNATC Bucharest made me to reach the conclusion that I learn and develop my best body intelligence at the cultural and interactive intersection of different ways of referring to dance, movement.

I do not regard movement or dance as materializations of different techniques, but as manifestations of sensory, emotional, mental data embodied in each of us: walking, breathing, gesture are movements and dances contained in each body.

All these experiences and experiences came to light during the preparation of my own show, “Sorry, we!,” hosted at the Artist’s Nest in Bucharest.

Cătălin Diaconu

My interest in dance and movement in general has been present since childhood. I was moving all the time following the rhythm of the songs I heard and at the same time trying to imitate the dangerous stunts I saw in the movies. At that time I dreamed of becoming a cashier.

I practiced Kung Fu for a few years when I was in elementary school but I stopped because I felt it was too violent for me. Many years later, I returned to a more fluid, inward-oriented practice: Tai Chi, which I practiced for several years and helps me to use the principles of movement and breathing learned back then.

The moment came, in 2015, when I discovered Contact Improvisation, which is my main movement and dance practice for the last four years. This studio culminated with a year (2019) dedicated entirely to the performance and research of this form of dance. I attended and held classes at international Contact Improvisation festivals (India, Thailand, Ukraine, Ireland) and are part of the team of organizing the Contact Improvisation festival in Bucharest. From 2018 I started teaching Contact Improvisation classes, alone and in collaboration with other teachers.

I performed in the dance performances: “After.Life” and “Pe Bune” and numerous dance improvisation performances, organized in various public spaces.
