We’re trying something new in the new year! Each week we will have a different member from the community leading the 30 minute warm-up. Join us each week for new perspectives, insights and approaches to CI and adjacent practices.



Open to all levels of experience, the Nevada City Contact Improv Jam is a place to learn, explore, connect, create and play.


Practiced within groups of curious individuals, Contact Improvisation (CI) is a unique partner dance form in which shared points of physical contact provide the starting place for interactive movement improvisation and exploration. This dance practice explores the skills of falling, rolling, counterbalance, sharing weight, tuning into subtle sensation, and being responsive to partners and surroundings.


SCHEDULE:
11am – Guided warm-up into open jamming
12:50pm – Closing circle

RATES:
$15-20 Sliding scale

The warm-up gives each person a chance to delve into their practice of CI whether in building fundamental skills or gaining a more in-depth understanding of the form.


“Contact Improvisation is an honoring of every moment. There is a sweet surrendering that happens when our bodies stay faithful to what is happening now, and now... and NOW! One learns to recognize and differentiate subtle impulses in our movement choices and our partner's choices. We begin to decipher the cues that we give and receive which tell us when to lead or follow, when to go up, when to go down, where to touch, how to lift, when to slow down, and when to be still. In this form one learns to stay in integrity with each choice, never forcing, never rushing. When Body, Mind, and Spirit are united in their instinctive wisdom one finds ones-self at home in every moment expressing ones true nature.” ~ Moti Zemelman
