Contact Impro Jam + Intro

Over dit evenement

## Contact Improvisation: The joyful art of falling and rising together.

This is a grounding and embodying experience, which helps mind and body come together in a playful manner. Through giving, and taking weight, rolling on the ground and eachother, we learn to move in surprising and fun ways. Dancing CI can feel like a combination of getting a massage, acrobatics, surfing, dancing, andd… flying?

CI is a movement practice that helps us break down habitual movement patterns, and instead create room for new and exciting ways to move, dance and play.

It is a way for us to be uniquely and unboundedly creative.

## For you?

- You want to be more in the body
- You like to play
- You like to explore new ways to move
- Contact makes you happy (and perhaps shy?)
- Especially for you if you are curious but also a bit afraid
- And for all of us who just can't get enough of somatic research through dancing!

For all movers, beginning or advanced. You don’t have to have the “skills” to dance contact improvisation.

## Contribution

A contribution of € 10-20 is asked for participating in this event. By contributing you support the continuation and growth of this jam and community. (Also, we do pay rent)

## Finally

CI can be seen as a form of art, it is about body research, and play, in a non-sexual way. Although those feelings are super welcome to rise and fall, we are not engaging in them. If your intention is to "pick up" or hookup: this is not the place my dear.
