ABOUT A CONTACT IMPRO JAM
● a jam is a co-responsibility space to dance, train, deepen and celebrate the practice of contact improvisation (CI)
● CI starts from the exploration of physical laws and forces while moving through space, in physical contact with someone else, sharing and carrying weight along the way
● all levels of experience are welcome
● there is no fixed rhythm or music style. The focus is on the connection/communication/rhythm with our dancepartner. We dance and co-create with music ánd with silence
● dancing can happen in duo's, trio's, alone or with the whole space and group
● dances can last short or long
● when a dance partner leaves, my dance doesn't need to end, it can continue its flow,
transform and find new chapters
● whenever you feel stuck: take a step, and the next one will find its way =)
● a contact improvisation jam is not a sexual or tantric oriented space. Let's keep the dance the focus!
