A three-day contact improvisation jam
About
Join us for a 3 day immersion in Contact Improvisation Dance. For Jam into the Spring 2023, we are envisioning an invigorating, playful, participatory & co-created space. Jamming contact improvisation in extended sessions is a gateway to a deep embodiment of the form in its physical, social, emotional, spiritual, non-linear & timeless ways. It is a time to practice what we know and what we have yet to discover. There will be some facilitation, and lots of jam time.
We will be pulling inspirations from different scores & jam formats to take us into the dance.
Silent space in Focus jams will be maintained in a way to enrich the soil of our communal experience.
There will be a musical jam on Saturday evening.
