Classes are held once a week, from September 2025 to June 2026. Participation in this project means 9 hours of practice per month, in a methodologically structured process - step by step. Systematic and long-term work in a permanent group offers the greatest opportunities for development and implementing new movement patterns for you. This is an invitation for anyone seeking consistent, systematized knowledge for the practice of Presence - Relationship - CONTACT - "Architecture of the Body in the Space of Relations." Forms of body dialogue, breath, their mutual movement, and the accompanying mind in action. It is an invitation to deepen knowledge about contact with the environment, partner, group - through the prism of methodological recognition of your possibilities and blockages. Your experience when you come to the studio does not matter much. What matters is your curiosity, readiness to embrace challenges that will arise for all of us throughout the process. This project is above all a deep training in presence and mindfulness. It is time devoted to acquiring skills, expanding possibilities, and exploring body mobility. It is an invitation to apply the acquired tools to our lives. It is a personal path to redefining the concept of art - "theatre of everyday life." It is an individual space for creating a personal language in nurturing unique, personalized qualities of expression through movement/dance. 𝘽𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙁𝙄𝙏𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙄𝙋𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉: - You enrich your individual toolkit for consciously operating with the tools your body offers. - You systematically develop skills, starting from a strong foundation of understanding your body. - You learn how to safely push the boundaries of your individual capabilities. - You open up to responsibly creating your personal creative path. - Step by step, you integrate the cooperation of body, breath, and mind in movement - in action. - You begin to nurture qualities of presence and mindfulness in everyday life. - You notice the impact of practice on your relationships with others and the environment in which you function. 𝘼𝙐𝘿𝙄𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀: The group is dedicated to people interested in development in the broad sense of "Movement Philosophy Practice" - I_GO_SYSTEM. These are comprehensive general development classes, drawing knowledge from sources such as: contact improvisation, martial arts, yoga, stage movement, improvisation, breathing techniques. The project is composed to deepen the practice of mindful presence in everyday life and develop freedom of expression in dance and our relationships. Classes are for anyone wanting to work in a permanent group and systematically build a deepened relationship with their own body, mind, and breath. 💰 𝘾𝙊𝙎𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙄𝙋𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝘾𝙏: Monthly - 500 PLN 𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝘾𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙊𝙍: 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂ł 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒋𝒔𝒌𝒊 – For over 30 years, I have been conducting research and exploration in the field of movement, dance, theatre ("theatre of everyday life"). For 6 years, I have been an academic lecturer in "Choreography and Dance Techniques" at the Academy of Music in Łódź, where I teach: Contact Improvisation. In parallel, I conduct research on my original I_GO_SYSTEM method, developing creativity and effectiveness in teaching methodology in Contact Improvisation. In my research, I also examine the influence of the language of dance on creativity in other fields of art ("Contact Improvisation - a rebellious field of art" - MKiDN scholarship). As part of my academic work, I have created separate original teaching methodology programs for Contact Improvisation for the following fields: - Dance Techniques - Choreography - Somatics - Modern Dance Additionally: Creator of the original program "Martial Arts in Contact Improvisation," which over the past 10 years has been presented at many international festivals worldwide. Originator and creator of the FRU Contact Improvisation Festival (14 editions), founder of KIJO Dance Theatre (10 years), co-creator of the nationwide project Academy of Contact Improvisation – AKI (Warsaw, Poznań, Kraków, Łódź). Originator and creator of the first global CI event calendar. In short: producer, director, choreographer of an as yet uncounted number of performances, performative events, dance videos. Until recently, a member of the program council of Dotknij Teatru, curator of the AOIA Dance Stage in Łódź (4 years), and again a student - at the Łódź Chow Gar Kung Fu school, humbly on the path to a black belt. I like to remember that a good teacher is one who never stops being a student, and the ability to listen is one of the paths to understanding more than you already know. Referring to the idea of Kung-Fu (continuous striving for perfection), I modestly call myself a dancer, performer, choreographer, though above all I feel like a teacher by vocation. As an actively traveling teacher, my contribution is visits combined with creative sharing of knowledge in countries such as: Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Israel, Ukraine, Croatia, Denmark, Moldova, Italy, Iceland, Spain, Thailand, Austria, Slovenia, Greece. For several years, I have been striving to combine my knowledge and experience in the broadly understood field of movement with the pursuit of a simple life and continuous deepening of awareness. What constitutes I_GO_SYSTEM is my personal path and humble contribution to improving the world we live in. For several years, I have also been creating workspaces and expeditions for Men in the idea of I_GO_SYSTEM and communication based on the circle formula: "TRU MAN," "Forge of the Brave," "Men's Movement." I am also a co-creator of MANiFEST - the Assembly of Men (an annual meeting of men seeking personal development). Out of the desire to share knowledge as widely as possible, for years I have supported such Consciousness Festivals as: Kocham Cię / Widzę Cię Festival, Dreamersland, Conscious Man, Unity Waves, Men`s Medicine. I also have the honor of co-creating a nationwide project at the intersection of personal development, dance therapy, and theatre: Experimental Movement Space. 🌐 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙈𝙄𝘾𝙃𝘼Ł'𝙎 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙆 More about I_GO_SYSTEM: FB: https://www.facebook.com/igosystem Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/igosystem Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@I_GO_SYSTEM More areas of activity: 𝗙𝗥𝗨 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 page: FB: https://www.facebook.com/FruFestival Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fru_festival TRU MAN page: FB: https://www.facebook.com/TruManKuzniaSmialkow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/t_r_u._.m_a.n/ Coach_Mentor Michal Ratajski page: FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556567953021 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coach_mentor_michal_ratajski/ MANiFEST page: FB: https://www.facebook.com/ZgromadzenieMezczyzn https://man-i-fest.pl EXPERIMENTAL MOVEMENT SPACE page: FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086690011235 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/experimental_movement_space/ 📧 CONTACT: igosystem2@gmail.com https://michalratajski.com
