Class Description
Back Space, Front Space, Relational Space
Bodywork into movement and dance. We will explore different experiences of space, discovering and deepening back-space, front-space and relational-space as three possibilities in movement and emotion. The invitation will be to embody the dance instead of dancing the body. Open to all. Designed to lead you safely into the jam space.
Sam Bloomfield is a facilitator, body-worker, trainee dance movement psychotherapist and multi-media artist.

The Jam
A jam is an informal gathering of dancers. There is no teacher, but space and time to develop skills and confidence. You are free to dance, rest, or sit and watch, as you wish. The jam provides an opportunity to explore and integrate techniques you have learned, and to find your own routes into dancing.
At some jams a teacher will facilitate a score to follow such as a focused (silent) jam, the Underscore (developed by Nancy Stark-Smith), or a blindfold (or eyes-closed) jam, this will normally be advertised via our regular mailout – so sign-up if you want advance notice.
