What is
CONTACT IMPROVISATION?
Contact Improvisation is an improvised dance form based on the communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact and their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion: gravity, momentum, inertia. The body, in order to open to these sensations, learns to release excess muscular tension and abandon a certain quality of willfulness to experience the natural flow of movement. Contact improvisations are spontaneous physical dialogues that range from stillness to highly energetic exchanges.
Alertness is developed in order to work in an energetic state of physical disorientation, trusting in one’s basic survival instincts. It is a free play with balance, self-correcting the wrong moves and reinforcing the right ones, bringing forth a physical/emotional truth about a shared moment of movement that leaves the participants informed, centered, and enlivened.
Join us for weekly jams and classes in ljubljana
This classes are focused on the fundamentals technical skills we use in Contact Improvisation, and are aimed to both beginners and expert dancers.
We will begin every session by opening our senses through body and breath work to increase our awareness of weight and the transfer of weight.
We will then go on to explore basic aspects and principles such as: rolling point of contact, physical listening and following, falling, spiral rolls, no hand dance, open up the back space, lift principles.
Using this vocabulary we will dive into a fluid dialog made by mutual listening, suspensions, surrenders and supports.

WHAT IS A JAM?
Contact Jams are open gatherings where people come together to practice contact improvisation, ranging from weekly gatherings of a few hours to weekend or week-long retreat gatherings.
Contact Jams are normally un-facilitated; having no central instructor or guide. As such, there isn’t someone leading you into what or how to do; you are exploring your curiosities on your own. A common curiosity in the investigation of contact improvisation is exactly what makes it a contact jam.
