jamReally want to get confident with how to Jam?
This will give you everything you need to know.
The how, the what, the where you are in the dance space at any given moment.
The underscore is a practice based around the observations made a
nd notated by Nancy Stark Smith, (one of the pioneers of Contact Improvisation Dance).
Nancy has over time observed the ingredients that go in to a Jam.
Whilst there are some staple ingredients that a CI Jam will always need, other ingredients are optional, consequently CI Jams will always be experimental, and unknown depending on what gets put in the pot (dance space).
Ok so enough with the Jam analogy perhaps.
Agnieszka and I will lead you through the Jam space in an alive and moving way. There will not be a long talk through the ingredients, rather we will take you through them in movement.
THINGS YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF!
• We are TAKING OVER THE WHOLE CLASS AND JAM SPACE.
• You need to arrive on time (especially if you have never done the underscore before)
• Once the Jam starts we are happy for experienced Underscore jammers to join, but can cannot guarantee any one will be available to answer the door
• If you really know you want to come and can’t get there on time contact us in advance of Sunday, we may be able to sort something out.
• Bring fruit, juice or other goodies to share for the thanks giving at the end.
ABSOLUTLY NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED AND WE AIM TO MAKE THIS EVENT AS ACCESSABLE AS POSSIBLE, IF YOU HAVE ANY ENQUIRY’S PLEASE DO MESSAGE US.
