21-26 October 2024, Virgin Beach
Welcome to the Festival of Contact Improvisation and Contemporary Dance on the enchanting island of Bali. The festival is located in Bukit Asah Camping, Virgin Beach, in a unique natural setting in north-east Bali.
We invited two well-known international teachers of Contact Improvisation and Axis Syllabus. In addition, our festival features local teachers sharing their expertise in Capoeira, water CI, and traditional Balinese dance.
This festival actively supports the local Balinese and Indonesian dance community through scholarships and artistic collaborations. By blending international perspectives with local traditions, we aim to create a rich, diverse learning environment for all participants.
Bukit Asah, Virgin Beach
Bukit Asah is located in a picturesque spot, a cliff peninsula surrounded by the ocean.
The cliff offers a stunning view of the small Kuan Island, which resembles a whale and highlights the natural beauty of the area.
Nearby is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in Bali - Bias Putih, famously known as Virgin Beach.
Nestled in this breathtaking landscape, our festival takes place at a fully equipped public campsite, which we've secured exclusively for our event. As part of our festival, we're creating two spacious dance floors where participants can explore movement and connection through contact improvisation, all while surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
