The Natural Circus Labs are open and playful gatherings inspired by the practices of Contact Improvisation and related art forms.
They take place in urban as well as natural contexts.
There are laboratories throughout every season and with varied input.
Thus insights, personal bonds and relationships may deepen.


Contemplative art to me is an art that has no desire to achieve or communicate anything, an art that is a spontaneous and effortless expression of what is.

Dance, Touch and everything else
Natural Circus Lab in Barcelona


“The more people do, the more society develops, the more problems arise.
The increasing desolation of nature, the exhaustion of resources, the uneasiness and disintegration of the human spirit, all have been brought about by humanity’s trying to accomplish something.
Originally there was no reason to progress, and nothing that had to be done. We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a ‘movement’ not to bring anything about.”
Masanobu Fukuoka - Originator of Natural Farming

In this meeting we will explore what it does if there is nothing to accomplish.
Nothing to accomplish in dance, nothing to accomplish in touch, nothing to accomplish in meeting another.
Nothing to accomplish in life.
We will see what it does, if we get 'the one that needs to accomplish' out of the way and let life have its course.
Even if just for a few moments.

Natural Circus Laboratorio en Barcelona


"Cuantas más cosas hace la gente más se desarrolla la sociedad y más problemas aparecen.
La creciente desolación de la naturaleza, el agotamiento de recursos, la ansiedad y desintegración del espíritu humano, todo esto ha sido el resultado del intento de la humanidad por conseguir algo.
Al comienzo no había razón para progresar y nada que debiera hacerse. Hemos llegado a un punto en el cual no hay otro camino que organizar un “movimiento” para no hacer nada."
Masanobu Fukuoka, agricultor y filósofo japonés / 'Agricultura Natural'

En este encuentro exploramos lo que pasa si no hay nada para conseguir.
Nada para conseguir en el baile, nada para conseguir en el contacto, nada para conseguir en encontrar a un otro.
Nada para conseguir en la vida.
Vamos a ver que hace si dejamos "el/la que necesita a conseguir" fuera del camino y permitimos que la vida tiene su curso.
Aunque sólo sea por unos momentos.
