March 1 - 9   Joint Forces Dance Company
Contact Improvisation Jam, 31^st Year

Good things keep on rolling. This event keeps drawing dancers together - both experienced and new to the form - from all over the world. Contact Improvisation is a dance of communicating, experiencing and relating through physical contact between two or more people. Core practices of heightening awareness of sensation, listening deeply to one’s partner, falling, rolling, sharing weight and moving with momentum create a freedom of expression and profound communication unique to the form. People of all physical abilities (and all ages) can explore the movement possibilities that exist between them.

The Jam is open to all experience levels, and includes facilitated warm-ups, open dancing, workshop/laboratory sessions and performance evenings. Come rub elbows with some of the most experienced teachers/practitioners of contact improv in the world. Register early, this event fills quickly. Limited attendance for just the first four days or last four days is also available. People new to contact improv are welcome, and should know that most of the event is not guided or facilitated.

Alito Alessi has produced the Jam for 31 years with a helping team.
