Thursday evening contact improvisation jam

"Contact Improvisation is a movement form where dancers move to follow the play of touch. Gravity and the floor are constant partners. Human touch unites the forces that act upon the body with the sensations they produce within the body." -Steve Paxton

A jam is a creative space for open improvisation, governed by mutual respect and awareness.  A jam is an opportunity to play, to research, to experiment, to express, to work it out, to connect with others.  Dancing alone, in duets, or in groups, we stretch our capacity to listen and lead as we follow the dance.

Newcomers / beginners very welcome!

Doors open at 7:00 for personal stretching and warm-up.  At about 7:30 we gather for an opening circle, a group warm-up, and then open dancing for the rest of the evening.

Facilitated by Loren Groenendaal and Benjamin Pierce.
