This workshop is geared toward people who have had some exposure to Contact Improvisation, yet still feel unsure about how to participate with full satisfaction and ease at a contact jam. We will practice:
  • easefully moving alone in a contact jam environment;• specific strategies for approaching others while dancing;
  • ways of entering and developing dances;
  • untangling from or leaving dances;
  • deflecting someone who might be trying to join or break up a dance;
  • setting limits to the amount of weight or pressure or speed in a dance.
