Paweł Kubiak is fascinated by discovering through dancing and sharing dance with others. During his pedagogy studies, he explored creating supportive learning environments, working in a forest kindergarten. During this time, he led regular Contact
Improvisation classes and created spaces for jams and workshops. Over the past four years, he has traveled across Europe and Asia, following curiosity, dancing, and sharing workshops as a way to deepen his own exploration and rediscover the familiar. He is a certified movement teacher of the Ilan Lev Method, engaged in an ongoing process of deepening his practice and drawing inspiration from the Feldenkrais Method. Improvisation is for him a source of joy and a practice of life — a space to explore values that support co-creation and togetherness, grounded in presence, care, and mutual support. He delights in discovering connections through movement and inquiry, allowing the future to emerge through the joy of shared discovery.
Somatic into Contact Improvisation - Classes
LISTENING FROM THE GROUND OF JOY
What if the ground of our meeting is joy — a place from which we listen? What if we allow questions to shape the space between us, letting them guide how we move, meet, and imagine what comes next?
These classes invite you to explore movement rooted in Contact Improvisation and the Ilan Lev Method. We will work with images, playfulness, and the joy of meeting in motion.
Our practice supports a state in which movement can be witnessed as it unfolds — invited by questions rather than controlled. From this place, dancing becomes an act of attunement: a dialogue with the unknown, shaped by presence and
responsiveness. Through touch, weight, and shared attention, we will explore how grounding can open space for curiosity, trust, and joy. Together, we stay connected to ourselves while meeting the other, allowing joy to arise as a lived, embodied experience of being present in the dancing body. Together, we will explore solo and group practices of listening, attunement, and shared timing. We will sense how a collective body begins to emerge when we allow the future to speak through us.
