With eyes closed or blindfolded we will explore the room and the connection to others. You will sense in a new exiting way.
UNDERSCORE JAM
For this special event we will invite musicians who will resonate with us in an experimental way.

WORKSHOPS
This JAM has a score as a framework and a warmup into the score theme of the JAM.
That could be an experimental
idea you are invited to follow or
a way into your own somatic dance research
The Underscore is a long-form dance improvisation structure developed by Nancy Stark Smith.

Before some JAMS we will offer workshops on numerous CI topics
WHAT'S
CONTACT IMROVISATION
CONTACT IMPROVISATION (CI for short) is a contemporary dance form that is about actively discovering all the possibilities of movement that two or more human bodies can perform.The basis is physical contact through a constantly moving contact point.
It is a creative process that occurs when two or more people move in mutual support and dare to play with the balance and weight.
The movements are freely improvised, they arise from the alertness and lightness of the moment.
