Contact improvisation immersion: JAM

3-day CI Immersion

This JAM is part of a 3-day immersion in contact improvisation, in Ghent, from May 29 to 31.

This is a three-day activity with several workshops. You can register for the whole CI-immersion or for separate activities.

The mornings focus on movement research from different angles.

In the afternoons, two facilitators co-teach. They exchange their movement language and approaches with each other and the group.

After the afternoon session, there is room for integration and experiment:

• JAM on Thursday
• conversation table on Friday
• performance evening on Saturday

This JAM

A CI-JAM is not a class. It is a dance encounter where you are part of an open dance floor where you can train, play, practice and dance with other people of all levels based on the principles of contact impro.

What you need to know about a JAM

• A CI-JAM is a context where all levels meet and you create a safe place together as a group where you practice and (further) discover contactimprovisation.
• The basic physical principle in CI is playing from our instinct to move, opening our movement possibilities while sharing contact and weight with one or more dance partner(s).
• You improvise, discover, dance, communicate, listen, expand your awareness and enjoy.
• You step into creating an instant composition of movement in the dance studio along with the other people in the group.
