This event is for experienced practitioners, as there will be no instruction and the focus is on jamming.
With open hearts we invite you to the Winter Warmer Jam, nestled in the Devonshire hills, we will cohabit and create a weekend centered around the practice of contact improvisation jamming. We will nest together and nourish ourselves in the darker days of winter, with a loving dance floor, nourishing food, and sauna extravaganza. We wish to embody and live the lessons of contact improvisation on and off of the dance floor, with collective care for one another and dedication to the practice.
