About Unfold
Contact Improvisation Research Collective in Bali
Our Vision
Unfold aims to advance the practice and understanding of contact improvisation in Bali by hosting international teachers, facilitating research, and creating a hub for knowledge exchange in the field.
We strive to cultivate and promote the art of contact improvisation by organizing regular events, hosting world-class teachers, and fostering a research-minded approach to the practice.
Our Core Values
- Deep Study
We focus on the core principles of contact improvisation, preserving its original intention while allowing for personal discovery.
- Research Mindset
We encourage true improvisation and experimentation rather than just teaching forms.
- International Exchange
We create connections between Bali and the global CI community through regular workshops with international teachers.
- Awareness & Presence
We cultivate spaces where participants can connect with themselves, their partners, and the group as a whole.
Our Team
Serafima
Founder & Lead Teacher
Serafima has been actively developing the Contact Improvisation community in Bali for the past two years. She was the vision creator and organizer of the first Bali Contact Festival, building on her previous experience of teaching and community building in other countries.
Michal
Co-founder & Organizer
While relatively new to Contact Improvisation, Michal has studied intensively with multiple teachers and co-organized the Bali Contact Festival. His regular presence in Serafima's classes, workshops, and jams puts him in a distinctive position - bridging the gap between teacher and student perspectives.
