2025 April 3-6 – Earthdance Spring Contact Improv Jam
A Three-Day Contact Improvisation Gathering:
The Earthdance
Spring Equinox Contact Improv Jam
takes place April 3-6 2025.
A time of renewal and expansion, the Spring Jam will offer CI classes to help strengthen confidence in the fundamentals of the form as well as opportunities to hone our skills for dancing in Jam spaces. The fundamentals of CI are profound and can always be explored deeper. This is why CI is considered a “practice”. Details continue to reveal themselves within the physics, discovering together the nuanced landscape of human connection and vast terrain of compositional and kinesthetic choice making. Our aim is to create a container where all can feel welcome; and that centers on the form of Contact Improvisation.
