Portugal Contact Festival is a contact improvisation community music festival immersed in nature.  Enjoy the spontaneous jams, and get lost in the wave of movement in the outdoor dance space in the beauty of nature. Prepare to let your mind, body, and soul align and dance on the beach and in the ocean.

The organizers say:

“ Welcome to the eighth year of our wonderful Portugal Contact Festivals. Immerse yourself with us in an intensive experience in the contact world. Forgotten Land Community encourages people to recognize and use their creative potential. In the workshops, meetings, and festivals, we work together with different artistic methods to immerse ourselves in a flow state that allows everyone to blossom self-forgetfully in play. This can awaken self-healing forces and activate the community-oriented solution and life designs.

“We have invited international artists and teachers who combine many years of teaching experience , professional choreography work, intensive movement research and performance experience.

“We focus on cultivating a deeper awareness of listening, breathing, giving, receiving, and timing.

“We invite you to an original country side house nestled in typical Portuguese farmland at the Algarve coast close by Faro. The home of many wonderful Contact and Somatic events.”
