Over dit evenement
✨ 𝗝𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: ✨
On Saturday the 23rd of May, we invite you to a special Contact Improvisation Jam. Dance in the dunes, feel the sea, and meet others through movement.
We are proud this jam will be accompanied by two absolute top musicians, master percussionist Joshua Samson together with Leah Uijterlinde, they form a duo of improvising musicians that will take us on a rhythmical journey. Rhythms from the Middle East, Brazil, India and Africa will be woven through a soundscape of sounds and spheres inspired by the environment and the dancers. A very unique experience
Contact Improvisation Jam on the beach — in a special spot where you can see the waves, while dancing in the shelter of the dunes. Fresh air on your face, sand under your feet, and space to explore touch, weight, listening, and play.
Contact Improvisation is a direct and honest way of meeting — beyond words.
Through movement, touch, and shared weight, you connect with others in real time. Whether you know each other or not, the dance creates a space where people can meet as they are: present, responsive, and human.
If you’d like to arrive earlier and already connect, join our potluck from 18:00 (bring something small to share — light food is perfect).
At 19:00, we start together with a short, gentle warm-up led by Jérôme, then the jam opens into free flow until 21:00.
Come as you are: experienced or new, solo or with a friend.
Looking forward to sharing this experience together.
Whether you're an experienced dancer or a beginner, this jam offers an open and inspiring space to experiment with movement, light, and interaction. For a very first time experience we do recommend doing a class first. It is a contact based jam, but you are also welcome to dance on your own.
This event will be a collaboration with TransFlow Fusion and Another Kind of blue!
