This CI intensive is designed for movers of all experience levels who crave a richer, more integrated connection to their dancing.
Blending foundational elements of Contact Improvisation, floor-based somatic practice, and expressive solo exploration, this intensive opens a space for cultivating both skill and freedom, nuance and boldness in how you move — with others and with yourself.
What is a CoCo Jam?
Community Collaborative Jams are a new and unfolding program concept at Earthdance which launched in early 2022. This new programming thread was driven by the desire for more opportunities to dance CI and to connect with the community in smaller containers. Similar to Seasonal Jams, the CoCo jam has one or more hosts that, rather than always being professional artists with strong facilitation skills, can be dedicated Earthdance community members and upcoming dancers building their leadership skills. Support staff is also more limited compared to our seasonal jams and participants are invited into a higher degree of autonomy and self care. Similarly, the workshop offerings and schedule are also more influenced by the community members themselves and created on a more adhoc basis.
In preparation for attending a CoCo jam, you may want to ask yourself:
What are you currently researching or inspired to offer?
Is there something you hope to lab, share, or play with?
