Who would not like to fly? Most of us dreamt of flying when we were children, some still dreams… Perhaps, the only way to feel like flying is dancing till you loose your body and free your soul. This might happen when you step in a club and dance like you are alone in earth or if you like to take it further you can take some dance classes and amaze the ones around. There is an alternative dance platform in Istanbul, ÇATI Dance, welcomes anyone interested in contemporary dance, movement related arts and the body either as audience or as an enthusiast of dance.
ÇATI Dance provides space for dancers, choreographers, backstage professionals and audiences for creative performances and gatherings. Aiming to establish a sustainable network for collaborations in the field of contemporary dance, ÇATI is also a great experience for people who are not in the field. You can follow up classes from its web-site (http://www.catidans.org/), find the one interests you and go check up with a new experience. You can be completely out of this field and coming from a different area but anyways, ÇATI is an interdisciplinary organization and if you are interested in collaboration within the field of contemporary dance just ring the bell and meet people.
