Monday Contact and music Jam!

Booking here: bookwhen.com/mariechabert
Donation based: £5-20
Open level

This weekly Contact Improvisation jam invites both movers and musicians to jam together for a regular practice.

The emphasis of the jam is to explore movement while being in physical contact with other movers. Participants are encouraged to experience it as an embodied research and a practice where everyone can bring their own research, interest and physicality into the space.

Jamming is the best way to try out, take risks, learn from each other, observe, connect, be surprised, practice setting boundaries, dance and play with people we may not know or expect to dance with.

The space welcomes professional dancers, amateurs, seasoned contact improvisers and beginners, people from all backgrounds and abilities.

What is Contact Improvisation (CI)?
Contact Improvisation is movement research that explores the physical principles of touch, momentum, and shared weight in relation to gravity. It involves a constant dialogue between two or more movers who respond to each other’s movements in real time, often maintaining physical contact but also playing with proximity and space. This practice emphasises spontaneity, trust, and mutual awareness, allowing dancers to create unique movement for each encounter.

What is a jam?
Similar to music jams, Contact Improvisation jams (or contact jams) are informal gatherings where dancers come together to practice, explore and inspire each other in a relaxed and playful way.
