Columbus Contact Improvisation

Contact improvisation explores the physics of our bodies through touch and connection. Participants are encouraged to listen to sensation and follow curiosity. Come make new connections with us!

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a physical investigation into gravity, momentum, and weight sharing between two or more bodies. Dancers move with constant attentiveness to their own bodies, impulses, and trajectories, while listening and responding authentically to their partners. The form encourages mindful awareness and mutual exchange. The Saturday Jam is an open, informal space to which dancers and movers of all types and backgrounds are invited to explore their bodies in a kinesthetic relationship to other bodies. The jam is facilitated and sometimes begins with a 30 - 40 minute warm-up. Beginners are welcome. Donation-based and open to everyone, dancers and non-dancers alike.
