Welcome!
The week before and after the festival the space is open and free for you to come earlier or stay longer - as you wish, for only 6 € per night.
Open Contact Camp is an invitation to share life and dance together in a beautiful location and warm sunny climate. There will be no specific program or facilitation. The time is completely open for us to follow our needs, desires and interests. We can create, spend time together, dance, vacation, digest the festival, celebrate its resonance, ride the flow, develop it further, do what we wish. Some studio access might be possible – we will see.
Open Contact Camp is meant to deepen the festival experience and therefore is for festival participants only! For exceptions contact the team.
Before the festival, during the first week of Open Contact Camp, we will build the community and the spirit for the festival, enjoying how the group is growing day by day. We will create our living space together, spending time making the place our home, making it beautiful and comfortable for all of us.
We will welcome everyday the new people arriving, joining the camp and the experience. Gradually, our community will grow, the dinner table will get larger and larger until everybody has arrived and the festival may begin ...
Accommodation
Like in the festival time you can choose between staying in the simple festival hostel near Lajares (10-14 beds and/or matresses per room) or bringing your own tent - which is of course the most beautiful and most peaceful option! You can put your tent anywhere on the open premises of the hostel. There are beds and mattresses (you are welcome to use also for your tents). Bring everything else for sleeping (sleeping bag, sheets, pillow,...). There is the possibility to rent sheets and blankets from the hostel for a low price if you don't feel like carrying too much stuff.
Food
We can use the kitchen for individual or community cooking. Usually, we do dinner as a community and breakfast and lunch individually. It can be whatever we wish to create!
