ONE Island JAM
3 Week - Focused Practice of Contact Improvisation
17 February - 9 March 2025

We are full and have a long waitlist in place
(Limited to 50 ppl)
This is a 3-week program for experienced contact improvisation dancers enthusiastic to dive deep, dance daily and co-create a field of research and exchange based in self-responsibility and a passion for the practice.
During the week, we’ll gather for 3-hour jamming sessions in the mornings with varying scores or focus. And twice a week we will gather in the evening for dancing in a more extended container.
We invite a responsive structure that evolves with each participant's contributions and curiosities. Alongside the daily sessions, we’ll create space for labbing inspired by the groups' research interests. We will also receive some proposals for sharing in different formats to foster the exchange and intentional sharing of research in the dance.
​​
As we are based on a tropical island with gorgeous turquoise warm waters, we will also have some dedicated time to add water jams to our land practice on the weekends.
​
The experience will be further enriched by open island community jams held 3 times weekly. These sessions open up the unique opportunity to connect with the wider Koh Phangan CI community and share the journey beyond our group.
